How to Create New Tasks

Tasks help you streamline workflows and ensure every step in your process is completed

Overview

Tasks help you track the work that needs to be done and who is responsible for it. You can create a Task from within a Lead or Job, or directly from the global Tasks tab. 

How to create a Task

  1. Open a Lead or Job, or go to the Tasks tab.

  2. Select to create a new task. To import tasks from a saved template, click the drop-down instead.

  3. Fill in the task details:

    • Task Name

    • Category: sets where the task appears in the pipeline view.

    • Description (optional): add any extra details.

    • Department

    • Assignee: this person gets a notification when the task is assigned to them.

    • Due Date: choose a specific date, or link it to the completion of a Schedule Item (available once the task is assigned to a Job).

    • Tags (optional): make it easy to filter and group tasks, and to bulk update assignees, statuses, or due dates.

    • Checklist (optional): type each step or requirement in the checklist field and press Enter to save it. You can tick items off as you work through them.

  4. Click Save & Close to add your new Task.

ℹ️ Enter checklist items in the order you want them, because you can't reorder them after they're added.
