Systems and methods to facilitate task-specific workspaces for a collaboration work management platform

Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods to facilitate task-specific workspaces for a collaboration work management platform. Task-specific workspaces for individual ones of the users for individual ones of the tasks may be facilitated. Presentation of the first task and/or the first task-specific workspace for the first task for the first user may be effectuated. Information characterizing interactions of the first user with the first set of applications within the first task-specific workspace at or near a first time may be obtained and/or stored responsive to a pause and/or completion of the first task at the first time. The one or more windows corresponding to the first set of applications for the first task may be minimized and/or closed. Responsive to a re-start of the first task, the first set of applications may be restored based on the environment state information.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system configured to facilitate task-specific workspaces within a collaboration environment, the system comprising:
 one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
 manage environment state information maintaining a collaboration environment, the environment state information describing users interacting with and/or viewing the collaboration environment, and describing tasks created within the collaboration environment and assigned within the collaboration environment to the users who are expected to accomplish one or more actions to complete the tasks; 
 effectuate communication of user interface information defining a user interface of the collaboration environment to a first computing platform associated with a first user, the user interface displaying a first task-specific workspace for a first task previously assigned to the first user and a list of multiple tasks previously assigned to the first user, wherein the first task-specific workspace presents a first application via a first window; and 
 responsive to obtaining information defining user input into the user interface indicating a pause of the first task via selection of a second task from the list of multiple tasks:
 effectuate storage of interaction information characterizing interactions of the first user with the first application in a first task record of the first task; and/or 
 cause the first window corresponding to the first application to be closed. 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to:
 clear a current desktop to initiate the first task-specific workspace for the first task.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein a second application is made inaccessible within the first task-specific workspace. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to:
 responsive to receiving restart information indicating a re-start of the first task, restore the first application within the first task-specific workspace.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the interaction information characterizing the interactions of the first user with the first application includes progress information characterizing progress of the first user within the first application and/or on the first task. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to close, responsive to receiving the information defining the user input, the first task-specific workspace. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to effectuate presentation of an option to save and/or store the first task-specific workspace and/or the interactions of the first user with the first application. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to effectuate presentation of an option to send a notification based on progress of the first user on the first task to one or more other ones of the users. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to:
 responsive to obtaining the information defining the user input into the user interface indicating the pause of the first task via the selection of the second task from the list of multiple tasks, update the user interface information to cause the user interface to display a second task-specific workspace for the second task.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein displaying the first task-specific workspace for the first task in the user interface is responsive to a selection of the first task from the list of multiple tasks previously assigned to the first user. 
     
     
         11 . A method to facilitate task-specific workspaces within a collaboration environment, the method comprising:
 managing environment state information maintaining a collaboration environment, the environment state information describing users interacting with and/or viewing the collaboration environment, and describing tasks created within the collaboration environment and assigned within the collaboration environment to the users who are expected to accomplish one or more actions to complete the tasks;   effectuating communication of user interface information defining a user interface of the collaboration environment to a first computing platform associated with a first user, the user interface displaying a first task-specific workspace for a first task previously assigned to the first user and a list of multiple tasks previously assigned to the first user, wherein the first task-specific workspace presents a first application via a first window; and   responsive to obtaining information defining user input into the user interface indicating a pause of the first task via selection of a second task from the list of multiple tasks:
 effectuating storage of interaction information characterizing interactions of the first user with the first application in a first task record of the first task; and/or 
 causing the first window corresponding to the first application to be closed. 
   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising clearing a current desktop to initiate the first task-specific workspace for the first task. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a second application is made inaccessible within the first task-specific workspace. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising responsive to receiving restart information indicating a re-start of the first task, causing the first application to be restored within the first task-specific workspace. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the interaction information characterizing the interactions of the first user with the first application includes progress information characterizing progress of the first user within the first application and/or on the first task. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising closing, responsive to receiving the information defining the user input, the first task-specific workspace. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising effectuating presentation of an option to save and/or store the first task-specific workspace and/or the interactions of the first user with the first application. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising effectuating presentation of an option to send a notification based on progress of the first user on the first task to one or more other ones of the users. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising responsive to the obtaining the information defining the user input into the user interface indicating the pause of the first task via the selection of the second task from the list of multiple tasks, updating the user interface information to cause the user interface to display a second task-specific workspace for the second task. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein displaying the first task-specific workspace for the first task in the user interface is responsive to a selection of the first task from the list of multiple tasks previously assigned to the first user.
