Creating a New Task

Learn how to create and manage tasks

Updated over 6 months ago

Tasks help you break down client work into manageable steps and ensure accurate tracking and billing. Use the Task tab or other quick-access tools to add tasks to your projects.

Why it matters

Creating tasks keeps your work organized and billable time well-documented. This improves team accountability, client transparency, and invoicing accuracy.

How to create a new task

1. Open the New Task sidebar

You can access the New Task sidebar in several ways:

  • Navigate to the Task Tab and select New Task

  • Click the New Task button from the Dashboard

  • Click the Time Tracking icon in the upper-left corner and select New Task

  • Open a Client or Project Profile, then click Add Task

2. Fill in task details

In the New Task sidebar:

  1. Enter a Title for the task

  2. Assign the task to a Project

  3. Set the Status:

    • To-Do: Not started

    • In-Progress: Currently being worked on

    • Done: Completed

  4. Select whether the task is Billable:

    • If unchecked, time tracked for this task will not be included in invoicing

  5. Choose a Due Date (optional)

3. Add task description

Use the Description field to provide task details. You can:

  • Add headers

  • Create bullet or numbered lists

  • Include checkboxes

  • Insert links

This helps standardize your work and clarify expectations.

4. Save the task

Click Add Task at the bottom of the sidebar. Your task will now appear in the Task tab and be available for time tracking.

Tip: Use clear titles and descriptions to help collaborators understand task scope and billing relevance at a glance.
