Create tasks

Tasks are the the core of Tasks in a Box. You can create tasks, assign them to yourself or others, set due dates, add attachments or comment on them.

Creating tasks

You can quickly add a new task to your task list by start typing in a task input field. Enter the title of your task and hit 'Return' (or 'Enter') on your keyboard. A new task will be promptly added to your task list.

If your task list shows multiple groups (e.g., because you grouped your tasks by due date), each group will have its own task input field. When you create a task in a group, the task will inherit the properties of that group. E.g., creating a task in the 'Today' group will automatically set the due date of the new task to the current date.

Click a task to open its task details pane allowing you to modify any of the properties of a task.

Duplicate an existing task

You can create a copy of an existing task as well:

• Select the task you want to duplicate

• Click the task menu (3 dots) at the top of the task pane

• Select 'Duplicate task' from the dropdown menu

A copy of your task is added to your task list.
