How to create a task?

A task is an essential part of any project. It’s an assignment that’s needed to complete the project. You might think of it as a “to-do” item, an action item, or a job assignment. Tasks are listed in the Tasks list, where you can view them in their entirety or add information.

You can create a task from the Tasks tab or within a specific Project. 

To create a task:

1. Go to the Tasks tab or select a Project, click on a task in the list. The new task will be created following the task you select, but you can move it.
2. Click the Add Task button.
3. In the new task line, type a name for the task.
4. To move the task, drag the task to a new location.

Note: You can assign the task, add a description, and select a due date on the right of the page. For details and more information on using tasks effectively, see Using Tasks.

You can create a task in many other parts of BasicOps. Check out our Creating a task article for other ways to quickly create a task.
