A task is the basic scheduling unit of a project

Allex offers to bundle these single tasks into summary tasks

Summary tasks are represented by a folder icon

Tasks with a larger scope are very well suited to be created as summary tasks

Summary tasks allow you to structure numerous tasks within your project

Open the list view of your project

Select the summary task icon in the drop down menu next to the Add new task field

Give your summary task a title

Press enter to add the summary task to your list

If you already created a summary task you can add a new one from the netplan view of your project

Add your title in the field + Add new summary and press enter

Select Group by summary in the Board

Scroll all to the right

Click on Add new summary

Insert a title

You can move the summary task via drag and drop

A summary task has no due date

The tasks inside the summary task determine the timely structure of the summary task (using backwards calculation from the projects due date)

Assign team members to the summary task

Add tasks or milestones and assign them

Insert a description of the summary task

In the list view you can drag and drop tasks and milestones into a summary task

Furthermore you can change the order of the sub-tasks any time

Click on the free connector to create a new task or milestone within the summary task

You can collapse summary tasks to focus on your current work

Now you can continue to plan your project by adding more tasks, milestones and summary tasks
