Task templates
Task templates allow users to predefine task settings that will be automatically applied to newly created tasks within a project.
This is useful in cases where tasks should follow a consistent structure, such as:
Scope of task templates
Task templates are:
- User-defined – created and managed in the user's Account settings
- Reusable – can be applied across multiple projects
- Project-applied – once selected, they affect all newly created tasks in that project
Manage task templates
Task templates are managed in the Task Templates section of the user's Account settings.
Task Templates section UI (user's Account settings)
The section consists of two main parts:
- Create template set button
- A button used to create a new template set
- Task template list
- A list of all existing template sets
- Each row represents one template set and contains:
- The template set name
- An Edit button
- A Delete button
Create a task template set
To create a new template set:
- Go to the Task Templates section in the user's Account settings
- Click the Create template set button
- Enter a name in the Template set name field
- Click the Create button
The template set will be created and added to the list.
Edit a task template set
To define or modify a template set:
- Go to the Task Templates section in the user's Account settings
- Click the Edit button next to the desired template set
- The template editing interface will open
Template set editing UI
The interface contains:
-
Template set name (displayed at the top)
-
Action buttons:
- Create template – adds a new template entry
- Import templates – allows importing previously created templates
-
Template list:
- Each row represents one template entry
- Columns include:
- Task code
- Title
- Actions (Delete button)
Delete a task template set
To delete a template set:
- Go to the Task Templates section in the user's Account settings
- Click the Delete button next to the template set
- The template set is removed
Apply a task template to a project
To use a template set in a project:
- Go to the Tasks section in the project settings
- Locate the Template set option
- Open the dropdown menu
- Select a template set
Once selected:
- The template set is applied to the project
- All newly created tasks will use the predefined settings from the template
This system ensures that tasks within a project remain consistent, structured, and faster to create, especially in workflows with repeating task patterns.
