Tasks

Each project's Board consists of Lists and Tasks within these lists.  So after creating a set of list you can start adding tasks.

You can assign users to tasks, define their timeframes, estimated time, priority and create checklists. Tasks can be moved between lists or even be moved to a different project.

Add tasks

When lists are already created on a Board you can add tasks to these lists.

Click on the Add a task button under the specific list. Next, input the task's name and confirm your action by clicking on the Add task button.

You can create an unlimited number of tasks within the List. If you'd like to change the order of tasks or move them to a different list, you can click on it and drag it to a different position.
