Once you've set up a tasks app, you can create tasks and tasks lists within it. The ability to create tasks and lists depends on the permissions you selected during the app setup. While everyone can view tasks in the app, not everyone may have the ability to create them.

Create a task

1. Select a task list to create a task in.
2. In the Add task field, start typing a title for your new task.
3. Press Enter to create the task.
4. If you'd like to further customize your task, you can open the Edit task menu to:
   1. Provide a description of the task.
   2. Set a due date for when the task should be completed. An assigned user receives a notification on the due date.
   3. Assign the task to a user. You can only choose one assignee per task. When you assign a task to a user, they receive a notification about the assignment.
   4. Move the task to another list.
   5. Select Save changes to update the task.

Tasks are organized in the order they are created in the list. It is not possible to manually reorder the tasks.

You can manage a task after it is created. Learn more in Managing tasks and task lists.

Create a task list

Every task app includes a default Inbox list for tasks, but you can create additional lists to organize tasks by project or theme.

1. Select + in the left column.
2. Enter a name.
3. Press Enter to create the list.

Task lists are arranged in the order they are created, with the Inbox always appearing first. It is not possible to manually reorder the lists.

After you've created your list, you can select it to start creating tasks in it. Once a task list is created, you can manage it in a few ways. Learn more in Managing tasks and task lists.
