Actionable tasks

A system, comprising:

• an application accessible by a client instance running;
• and
• a database accessible by the client instance running, the database comprising:
• a task table storing a plurality of task records, wherein each task record of the plurality of task records comprises at least an attention needed field and an action status field and wherein a task is associated with each task record of the plurality of task records;
• and
• a blocking table storing a plurality of blocking records, wherein each blocking record of the plurality of blocking records comprises a plurality of blocking fields, wherein the plurality of blocking fields is configured to define a plurality of first assignable values for at least the action status field, and wherein the plurality of blocking fields is configured to define a plurality of second assignable values for at least the attention needed field;
• and
• wherein the application is configured to display the respective tasks associated with each task record of the plurality of task records, wherein the application is configured to display an action status associated with each respective task based at least in part on the corresponding action status field and attention needed field.

A method, comprising:

• determining, via a client instance, a matching of a rule to adjust a blocking record of a blocking table, wherein the blocking table defines a plurality of assignable task values of an action status field for a task record of a task table;
• adjusting, via the client instance, the blocking record of the blocking table;
• adjusting, via the client instance, the action status field based at least in part on adjusting the blocking record;
• adjusting, via the client instance, an action status of a task associated with the task record based at least in part on adjusting the action status field;
• and
• displaying, via the client instance, the action status of the task on a client device.
