Creating & Assigning Tasks

Tasks are the building blocks of project work in Timequip. A task captures what needs to be done, who owns it, when it is due, and where it sits in the project workflow.

Create a task

1. Open a project board. If the project does not exist yet, see Setting Up a New Project.
2. Click New Task in the status column where the task should start.
3. Enter a clear title.
4. Open the task to add details.

Add task details

• Description: Add formatted instructions, links, or images. See Rich Task Descriptions and Images.
• Status: Move the task through the project workflow. See Using Workflows & Statuses.
• Priority: Choose High, Medium, or Low.
• Tags: Add one or more project tags for filtering. See Using Task Tags and Board Filters.
• Assignee: Select one account user who owns the task.
• Due date: Add a deadline so it appears in deadline-focused views.

Use comments for updates

Keep ongoing discussion in task comments instead of replacing the description every time a decision changes. See Task Comments and Email Notifications.

Tips

• Use action-oriented titles.
• Keep each task focused on one deliverable.
• Assign an owner before work starts.
• Use tags when a board becomes hard to scan.
