# Managing Tasks

Tasks are work items within a project. Use them to track what needs to be done, who's responsible, and when it's due.

## Creating a task

1. Open a project
2. Go to the **Tasks** tab
3. Click **New Task**
4. Fill in:
   * **Title** (required): What needs to be done
   * **Status**: Defaults to "Not Started"
   * **Priority**: Low, Medium, or High
   * **Assigned to**: Which team member is responsible
   * **Due date**: When it should be completed
   * **Description**: Any additional context
5. Save the task

## Viewing tasks

You can see tasks in two places:

* **Project detail page** → Tasks tab: Shows all tasks for that specific project
* **Tasks page** (sidebar): Shows all tasks across all projects, with filtering and sorting

## Editing a task

Click on any task to open it. You can update the title, description, status, assignee, priority, or due date at any time.

## Task priority

* **Low**: No rush, can be done when convenient
* **Medium**: Should be done within the normal timeframe
* **High**: Urgent — needs attention soon

## Tracking time

Tasks have a **time spent** field where you can log how long you've worked on something. This is optional but useful for billing and workload tracking.
