Start creating tasks
1. Buttons & styling
Step 1. Click on 'Campaigns' to open the campaigns. Here, select 'Tasks'.
At first, the board will be empty so let's add some lists. These can represent a status, a priority, a specific group or however the tasks should be organized.
Click on '+ New list' and give the list a new and optionally add a color.
For example, a priority list to make sure the most important tasks are picked up first. They can easily be dragged from one column to another.
Step 2. Create tasks
In the correct list, click on '+ Add a card' and fill in a title for the task. Hit enter to create the task and quickly add the next one(s). This is meant to quickly drop ideas on the board to be changed later on.
Step 3. Add details & edit tasks
To add more details to your tasks, click on a card. Now, add, change or remove the following fields:
Title
The tag/list or remove it
The due date
The status (Not started, In progress, Done)
The assignees or collaborators
Time estimation: uses a week - day - hour - minute format
Campaigns
Client workspace (in case of an agency/multi-workspace plan)
Attachments: Allowed file types: .png, .jpeg, .jpg, .gif, .pdf, .xlsx, .xls, .doc, .docx, .txt
A description: This helps the collaborators to get more information
Step 4. Add comments
In the edit page of a task, scroll down to see the comment section. Here, leave general remarks or tag someone (e.g. @writer ...) to notify them immediately.
2. Tasks for multiple workspaces
To be on top of all workspaces, agencies and multi-workspace accounts can plan tasks for their child workspaces.
As seen above, it's possible to assign a task to a Client workspace. In that workspace, an overview of all the tasks will appear in Boards.
That way, a writer can pick up the task in the correct workspace and change the status without having to return to the main workspace. Centralized creation and a focused work view!
