A task is the basic scheduling unit of a project

A task can stand by itself without connection to a project, but in Allex most tasks are the living breathing parts of projects

Tasks contain a start and end date, duration and buffer time as well as the description, uploaded files, checklist items, assignments, and activity log

Tasks can be fixed or flexible, depending on the project. Flexible tasks are tasks where the start and end dates are calculated depending on the dates of the dependent tasks. This allows for a task to start earlier than expected if the preceding task is done earlier than planned

Select task in the left drop-down menu within the white input field beneath the project header

Insert a title for your task

Press enter to add the task to your list

You can also create new tasks within the list at different positions:

Here, tasks are clearly displayed and can be linked to each other, giving you an overview of the dependencies in the project (learn more)

Tasks created in the netplan are planned backwards from the project due date and forestanding tasks

You can also add unlinked new tasks to the netplan

Click, drag and drop a new task from the Add new task button on the top left corner onto one of the displayed drop zones in the netplan

You can link the task afterwards

Open the task card in your project (list or netplan view)

Define if the date of the task is flexible or fixed

Set the due date

Change status of the task (planned, started, etc.)

Assign a responsible to the task

Add a description

Upload an attachment

Add checklist items and assign them to team members

Assign teams, roles or persons to the task

You can also edit all the task information later

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