Add Tasks To An Existing Project

Add a Single Task into a Project

To quickly add a new task, click the "Add task" row that appears at the bottom of each project. You can then enter the name and other details for the new task in each respective column.

To quickly add a subtask (child task) indented under any existing task, click the 3 vertical dots to the left of the row under which you want the new task to nested. Click Add subtask and enter the task name and task details on the indented row that appears.

In the above example, the newly added row named New task 1 is dependent on Sample Task A, and Sample Task B is dependent on the newly added New task 3 creating a one-after-the-other chain of five tasks, where there were previously two.

Creating tasks in this fashion requires selecting the two tasks (Sample Task A and Sample Task B in the example above) by checking the boxes on the left rows of BOTH tasks, and then clicking the the Add Tasks button that appears at the top left:

You can then enter in the number of additional tasks you'd like to insert (three, in the above example) in the overlay that appears and then click OK:

When using this method, the two original tasks must be subtasks (not summary) and in the same project and summary/indented level, with the first task linked as the predecessor of the second. If these conditions aren't met, you'll see this message appear:

Other Methods for Adding Tasks

Clicking the checkbox to the left of a specific, single project or task row shows the Add Task button in the top left. A new overlay will appear with various options for adding tasks (described below). The new tasks will be indented underneath the task or project row you checked.

The five methods to add tasks are:
