Create your first task

Tasks are how you keep track your work in TaskOrbiter. Each individual task can represent anything you are managing and you can keep them simple or add custom fields and tags to make them complex. Lets go over how to create your first task!

Keep in mind, there are several places you can create a task:

  1. In your sidebar, click the New Task button.
  2. When viewing a page in a Space, anywhere that says New Task.
  3. At the top of your page, you can click the Add Task.
Tip: If you’re on a Mac device, hit the hotkeys command + K  or ctrl + K if you are on a PC to open the new task action.

From your sidebar

  1. Navigate to TaskOrbiter.
  2. Make sure you have your sidebar opened.
  3. Click New Task. 
  4. Now you can create a new task and do the following:
    1. Add a task title.
    2. Add a description for your task.
    3. Set a due date.
    4. Add a subtask.
    5. Plus so much more!
Tip: When you create a task you can place this task in a list. This list can either be your personal list or a list that you create for your pages.

When on your Page

  1. Navigate to TaskOrbiter.
  2. Make sure you have your sidebar opened.
  3. Click on your page under your Space.
  4. Once on your page, you will see the + Add Task button.
  5. From here, the task you create will be added to your page.
  6. Depending on what view setting you have configured, you will see the + New Task button.
    1. By clicking this, it will either add your task under a section in your List view or in a column on your Kanban board.

FAQ
