Creating Tasks

Insert/Edit Tasks

There is more than one way to create new tasks. The following describes explains each way.

Task Menu

Select the item to add tasks to. Then, go to the Gear menu for the view and select Tasks -> Add Tasks To Selected.

Check mark the processes to add the task to and then hit Add Tasks.

The skip duplicated option skips adding a task that has already been created for that process e.g. if only a task for design has already been created.

Notice the new tasks added to the Task Pipeline column:

Another way to create a task is to create a task by context. This is provided in the drop down selection menu.

Create task by: Process Displays all the processes to select from, to create a task for.
Create task by: Context Displays all the contexts to select from, to create a task for.
Create task by: All Contexts in Process Creates all the contexts defined in the pipeline, but only displays the processes to select from, to create a task for.

Task Edit Column

The Task edit column can be used to insert tasks one at a time for a particular item.

Task Status Column

Once an item is created which has a pipeline, the widget will show a green insert button (+). This will load the task creation GUI to create tasks for the item.

Each Task can have the following attributes.
