A task could be a meeting date reminder, a job that needs to be done, a personal or a group activity and a lot of other things. In this short howto we'll see how it works. # Adding a new task To start, click on **+ Add list...**, write the name of your new list of tasks and press enter. ![](en/add_task.gif) Once you did it, a new section will show at the right. ![](en/add_tasks_window.png) Type in the name of the new task you want to add and then press enter. Click on the three-dots icon at the right if you want to add subtasks. ![](en/add_tasks.gif) ## Tasks options Click on the task or subtask title to access the options. ![](en/tasks_options.png) Here you can: - **Set the start date and due date**
By clicking on the Start/Due option you can set the day and the hour of it. ![](en/start_due_date.gif) You can also set the task as an all day activity. ![](en/all_day.png) - **Assign / change the tasks list**
You can change / assign a task or sub-task to different lists or calendar. Just select one from the drop-down menu and the tasks will change to the new one. ![](en/assign_list.gif) - **Select a classification**
You can assign the task list to a previously created calendar and choose how it should be shown. ![](en/show.png) - **Select a status**
Select if the task **needs an action**, if it is **in process**, **completed** or **cancelled**. ![](en/status.gif) - **Assign a priority level to the task** By moving the bar, you can set the priority level where 1 to 4 is **High**, 5 is **Medium** and 6 to 9 is **Low**. ![](en/priority.gif) - **Set and edit the progress level of the task**
By moving the bar, you can set the task progress from 0% to 100%. ![](en/progress.gif) - **Categories and Comments**
Assigning categories and adding comments can be very useful when working in a group. Click on **Select categories**, select or create one and press Enter. To write a comment, simply type it in the box. ![](en/categories_comments.gif) When the task has a category assigned or a comment added, you can see it in the description, next to the title. ![](en/categories_comments.png) - Finally, at the bottom of the tasks details you will see a bar with the delete and info options. ![](en/info.png)
