DOCUMENTATION

Opening the plugin

After installation, you’ll find a new icon near the Play toolbar. Click the Dev Quest Log icon to open the plugin window.

Databases

The Database controls where your tasks are stored and lets you switch between different task sets easily.

You can think of a database as a workspace: each database contains its own tasks, boards, and attachments.

Use multiple databases to organize work by level, system, user or sprint

Current Database

The active database is shown in the Database bar at the top of the Task Panel.

The label shows the current database file name. Hovering it displays the full file path

Creating a New Database

To create a new database:

Click the ⋮ (Database options) button
Choose New Database…
Select a location and file name

A new database is created and immediately activated. Use this to separate work by feature, level, or milestone

Switching Databases

To switch databases:

Open the Database dropdown and select a database from the Recent list
Or Load a database from the ⋮ (database options) button.

The plugin automatically keeps track of recently used databases for quick access.

Saving

The database is saved automatically, but you can force a save at any time:

⋮ → Save Now

Managing Databases

Additional options are available under Database options:

Reveal in Explorer
Opens the folder containing the database file
Remove from Recents
Removes the database from the recent list (does not delete the file)

Deleting a Database

You can permanently delete a database file:

⋮ → Delete from Disk…

⚠️ This action cannot be undone. The default database cannot be deleted.

Tasks

Tasks are the core building blocks of Dev Quest Log.
They represent pieces of work you want to track, directly inside the editor.

Each task is displayed as a task row in the task panel.

A task row gives you a compact overview of a task at a glance. It includes a task title, a status indicator, a priority indicator and optional tags.

Creating Tasks

Tasks can be created using the Add Task bar at the top of the panel.

Enter a title
Confirm to create the task
The new task appears immediately in the list

Tasks are created in the currently active database.

Sorting tasks

Tasks can be reordered to match your workflow or priorities. You can sort tasks in two ways: using the column header or manually with drag & drop.

Clicking on a column header sorts the task list by that field (Name, Status, Priority, Tags).

Click once to sort ascending
Click again to sort descending
The active sort is visually indicated in the header

Tasks can also be reordered manually using the drag handle on each task row.

Completed (Done) tasks are automatically placed at the bottom of the list. This keeps finished work out of the way while reviewing active tasks

Renaming a task

Tasks can be renamed by double clicking on its name.

Setting Status & Priority

Left-click a status or priority to open the selection menu, or right-click to quickly cycle through available values.

Setting Tags

Click the + button to add tags to a task. You can select one or multiple tags from the list.

Tags are managed through a dedicated data asset.

To create or edit tags, open (in editor):

Plugins/Dev Quest Log Content/DevQuestLog/TagLibraries/DevQuestLog_Tags

Detailed View

Click the arrow icon to the left of the task name to expand or collapse a task. When expanded, a task reveals:

Subtasks
Asset attachments
Notes

Subtasks behave like regular tasks and can be managed in the same way. The only difference is that, when expanded, subtasks display Notes only.

Task Boards

Task boards allow you to place tasks directly inside your level, making it easier to track work in context.

Each task board displays a vertical stripe on the left side. The stripe color reflects the current status of the task

Click the pin icon on a task to spawn a task board in the scene. The board is placed using a ray trace from the current camera view, letting you drop boards where you’re looking

If a task has one or more boards in the scene, a magnifying glass icon becomes available. Click the icon to cycle through all boards linked to that task.

The editor camera will automatically focus on each board.

Settings

You can customize Status and Priority colors in Edit/Editor Preferences/Plugins/DevQuestlog
