Tasks

Add a task

I want to …

… quickly add a new task in a column.

Before you start

  • Anyone in the workspace can add tasks.
  • The free plan caps active tasks. See the plans and limits article.

Here's how

  1. Open Board and scroll to the target column, for example Today.
  2. The Add task field sits at the bottom of the column.
  3. Tap it and type the title.
  4. Press Enter or tap the plus next to the field.
  5. The card appears in the column. Which modules it already shows (date, priority, checklist, …) depends on Task modules in Board settings for this board.
  6. Tap the new card if you want a description, an assignee, or more modules.

The result

The task sits as a card in the chosen column and can be edited or moved right away.

Common questions

Why is the field missing?

While you pick a focus task, the board hides Add task. Tap a card or Cancel to leave the pick.

Can I create a task in Done?

Yes. A work column is usually better; move it to Done when the work is actually finished.

Why does Today ask What's the one thing for today?

While the board has no open task, the field in the column before Done asks for it. It is the same field as Add task, and it goes back to that name once the first card exists.
