Method 2. Via the Plus Button
The Plus button for adding a task is conveniently located at the bottom right of the UTasks main screen, as well as within projects and blocks.
Unlike the quick-add widget, the Plus button opens the full task form for detailed entry.
Simply click Plus and complete the fields as described above.
In addition, with the full task form, you can:
Add a checklist to the task: To include a list within the task, tap the plus icon in the description field and enter each item. You can mark completed items by ticking the checkboxes beside each entry.
Specify the task status: Choose from «New», «To Do», «In progress», «In review» or «Closed/Done». Please note that on the FREE-plan only «New» and «Closed» statuses are available.
Once all fields are filled in, simply click «Create» to finalize the task.
The «Back» button cancels task creation, discarding any entered information.
The created task will then appear in its assigned project, with these additional features:
Unique Task Number: Each task is assigned a unique number, which can be used to reference the task instead of its name. Unique identifier consists of Project ID and Sequence Number (the sequential number of the task within that project).
Calendar Integration: You can add the task directly to your device’s calendar.
Discussion & Deletion: Access the options menu (triplet icon) to discuss or delete the task as needed. Choosing «Discuss» will send a message to the group chat for responses. All replies will be automatically recorded in the task history for future reference.
History and Comments: This section tracks all activity within the task, showing an expanded log of updates, comments, and actions taken. Simultaneous updates are displayed as single events. Images, files, and links added to comments are accessible and clickable directly from this history, making it easy to view, download, or follow links as needed.
