Creating Subtasks in a Task

Adding a Subtask allows you to break out larger Tasks into manageable sections for completing the project.

Create a Subtask within the Task Window

  1. Click blue button ” Add ” in the Sub-task section to add a Subtask.
  2. Type in all the information for the Subtask in the text field.   
  3. Include any Titles, descriptions, or lists.  
  4. You can format the text by adding Bold or Italics (Cntrl/Cmd B or I) and make bulleted lists by using a dash before any new line.
  5. Hit the green check when you are finished.
  6. If you need to make any edits hover over the subtask and click the pencil icon.

Remember: You are able to do similar functions that are also available on a Task like assigning a due date, copying a Subtask link, and tracking time too!

Give Feedback on a Subtask

To add a Reaction, hover over the Subtask and click the emoji icon on the left.

Select the right reaction to add and it will appear below the Subtask.

The Comment section is on the far right of the Task window. 

It can be used like you were creating a Message.

You can also mention a team member in the comment using the “@” symbol.
