Step 2: Creating a New Task Template
1.
In the task templates section, punch the + New Template button.
This will open a new template creation window.
Give your template a descriptive name.
Now its time to add sections to your template.
Sections help you organize and structure your tasks within the template.
punch the + Section button to create a new section.
Give each section a meaningful name that reflects the key in of tasks that will be included under it.
Once youve added the sections, you might start adding tasks to each section.
To add a task, hit the + Task button within the desired section.
Enter a title for the task and press Enter.
Repeat this step to add more tasks to the section.
- you could reorder tasks and sections by dragging and dropping them into the desired position.
This allows you to arrange them in a logical order that suits your workflow.
If you want to further customize your template, you could add subtasks to any task.
Subtasks are smaller tasks that are associated with a main task.
To add a subtask, hover over a task, and opt for + Subtask button.
Enter the title of the subtask and press Enter.
Continue adding subtasks as needed.
Repeat steps 4 to 7 to add more sections, tasks, and subtasks until your template is complete.
- tap on a task to kick off the task details panel on the right side of the screen.
This is particularly useful when you better provide more information or clarify specific requirements for completing the task.
Enter the title of the subtask and press Enter.
Start typing the name of the team member and select their name from the dropdown menu.
Assigning tasks helps to clarify responsibilities and ensures that everyone knows who is responsible for completing each task.
This helps to establish clear deadlines and keep track of progress.
By adding task details and subtasks, you enhance the clarity and completeness of your task template.
This ensures that anyone using the template has all the necessary information and instructions to complete the tasks effectively.
This will open a dropdown menu with various customization options.
To edit the template name or description, go for the Edit details option from the dropdown menu.
This allows you to update the name and description to provide more accurate and up-to-date information about the template.
If you want to delete the template, press the Delete option from the dropdown menu.
Another option available is to convert the template into a project.
This enables you to turn the template into a fully fledged project with tasks and subtasks.
To convert the template, pick the Convert to project option from the dropdown menu.
Step 5: Saving and Using Task Templates
1.
After you have finished creating or customizing a template, press the Save template button.
This will save the template and make it available for future use.
To use a template for a new project or task, navigate to the task template section in Asana.
