Create a task

From the Tasks view

There are two ways to create a task from the Tasks view.

Method 1

  1. Click [ checkbox marked circle outline green Tasks ] in the side panel to open the Task view.

  2. Click New task. The New task form will appear.

  3. Fill out the form and click Save. See Field descriptions for more information.

Method 2

The advantage of this method is that if you are in the By status view, you can create a task with the status set automatically.

  1. Click [ checkbox marked circle outline green Tasks ] in the side panel to open the Task view.

  2. Click plus blue on the appropriate column. The New task form will appear with the Status field already set to the column whose plus blue was clicked. For instance, if you are using the default statuses, and you want the ticket to have a status of Doing, click the plus blue on the second column.

  3. Fill out the form and click Save. See Field descriptions for more information.
