Add a checklist
I want to …
… keep a checklist with several items on a task and check them off.
Before you start
- Checklists belong to Pro and Ultra.
OwnerandAdmincan turn the module on by default for new tasks on a board, inBoard settingsunderTask modules.
Here's how
- Open the task.
- The
Checklistcard sits below the modules. If it is missing, tap theChecklistchip with a plus icon below the description (Enable Checklist). On Free the chip shows a lock and opens the plans. - Tap
Add itemand type the first point. Enter creates it. - You can paste several lines at once. Zeitlicht then creates one item per line and reports, for example,
3 items added. That message disappears on its own. Until then,Undoremoves the new items. - Tap the box on the left to complete a point.
- Drag the handle on the left to change the order.
Move done to bottomsends completed points down.- The three-dot menu on a row copies the text or deletes the row.
- The board card shows progress as a fraction, for example
2/5. - The cross (✕) in the checklist header (
Delete) turns the module off after a confirmation. The items are lost.
The result
The task has a checklist. Progress is visible on the card.
Common questions
Do completed points disappear?
No, not until you delete them. Move done to bottom only sorts.
Does a recurring task reset the list?
Yes. The nightly run resets checklists and moves the task to the target column.
