FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The five questions that show up most in support tickets

What is the Joomla Admin Checklist?

The Admin Checklist is a Joomla component that lets you manage all your site maintenance and to-do tasks directly inside the Joomla backend. Each task has a title and a description, and you can check tasks off when they're done. It gives you a clear overview of what still needs to happen, so nothing gets overlooked when you manage a Joomla website.

What's the difference between the Free and PRO version?

The Free version covers everything you need to build and run a checklist: unlimited tasks, unlimited categories, import/export, the dashboard module and the Action Log plugin. The PRO version adds two team- and automation-focused features: Recurring Tasks and Assign to User. PRO is the right choice once you maintain multiple sites or work with a team.

Which Joomla versions are supported?

The extension works on Joomla 5.x and 6.x. Before installing, make a full backup of your site and update to the latest Joomla release. You can install the package through the standard Joomla installer (System > Install > Extensions) or via Install from Web by searching for "Joomill".

Do I need an account to use the Free version?

No. The Free version is forever free and requires no account. You can download it and install it straight away to test the basics.

How do I get started after installing?

You have two options. You can import one of the ready-made example checklists (the default file contains around 10 categories and 80 tasks) via Components > Admin Checklist > Task Management > Import. Or you can build your own from scratch: create your categories first under Components > Admin Checklist > Categories, then add tasks to them.

Can I add direct links to Joomla pages inside a task?

Yes. In a task description you can add a direct link to any backend page, for example index.php?option=com_plugins to link to the Plugins page. The link is domain-independent, so it keeps working when you export the task to another website.

Can I reuse my checklist on other websites?

Yes. You can export your checklist from one site as a .json file and import it into another, which saves you from rebuilding the same list every time. Note that imported tasks always get the unchecked status, and Recurring and Assigned to User settings are not included in the export.

What is the dashboard module and how does it work?

The Admin Checklist module is installed and published automatically on your Joomla dashboard. It shows all your categories with an overview of checked and unchecked tasks, and links straight through to your filtered checklist. You can optionally show a color-coded progress bar and hide categories where every task is completed.

How do recurring tasks work?


The Recurring Tasks plugin PRO version only automatically recreates repeating tasks for you. You set up a Scheduled Task in System > Scheduled Tasks with an interval (for example monthly on the 5th at 9:00), then link that interval to a task. The task is then recreated on schedule, whether or not you checked it off. For reliable timing, trigger the scheduled tasks with a real cron job instead of Joomla's default lazy scheduler.

Can I assign tasks to specific users?

Yes, with the Assign to User plugin PRO version only. After installation you get an "Assigned To User" field on the task edit screen. Task Management and the Checklist then show an "Assigned To" column you can filter by, and the dashboard module has an "Assigned to me only" option so each team member sees only their own tasks.

Does it track who completed a task?

Yes. The Action Log plugin, included in the installation package and activated automatically, logs every check and uncheck action to the Joomla User Actions Log, including which user did it and when.

How can I change the way completed tasks are displayed?

In the component options you can choose how checked tasks appear: with a line through them, muted, or hidden entirely. You can also set whether links in task descriptions open in a new tab.

Can I restore a previous version of a task?

Yes, if you enable Versions in the component options. Joomla then automatically saves older versions of a task, and you can restore a previous version while editing. You can set a maximum number of versions to keep, or keep all of them.

On how many sites can I use the PRO version?

The extension can be installed on unlimited sites with a single license, with no per-domain fees. You can cancel anytime. If you use more Joomill extensions, the Bundle includes Admin Checklist PRO plus all other commercial Joomill extensions. VAT is added for EU residents.
