How to Create a Task in Tudodesk

Open the Relevant Job: To create a task, first, access the job associated with the task. From the job project view, navigate to the Tasks tab.
Task Creation: Click on the "Create Task" button to initiate the task creation process.
Task Title: Start by providing a clear and concise title for the task. This title should succinctly describe the task's purpose or the action required.
Task Description: You can add a more detailed description if needed. This description can include additional context, instructions, or relevant information to help the task executor understand the task's requirements.
Due Date: Specify the due date for the task. This is the deadline by which the task should be completed. Tudodesk allows you to set precise due dates, ensuring that your tasks are completed on time.
Task Type Selection: Choose the type of task you want to create. Tudodesk offers various task types, including "Todo," "Email," "Call," and "Process."
Workflow Integration (For Process Tasks): If you select "Process" as the task type, you can further specify the step in your workflow that the task is associated with. This links the task directly to a specific stage or status in your project's workflow.
Attachments (Optional): If the task requires supporting documents, files, or references, you can attach them to the task. Attachments provide additional context and resources to the task executor.
Notes (Optional): Add any additional notes or comments related to the task. Notes can include specific instructions, special considerations, or context that will assist the task executor.
Task Creation: Once you've filled in the necessary task details, click the "Create Task" button. Your newly created task will now be part of your task list, and team members assigned to it will receive notifications.

Alternatively, you can streamline task creation by dragging a status from the workflow in the side panel view directly onto the task list or task scheduler. This allows you to create a task associated with a specific workflow step effortlessly.
