Task templates overview
Task templates enable you to set up task information that you can use when creating a project for a client. Project templates contain key project information, such as date calculations, recurrence patterns, project tasks, budget information, and assignments. When you create a project for a client, you select a project template, and the template’s information is used for date calculations and future project creation. Within that project, you can also set up task templates, which contain key information for the individual tasks that make up the project.
To open the Task Template dialog, follow these steps.
- Choose Setup > Templates > Projects, or click the Project Templates action icon in the Clients navigation pane.
- Click the Add button to open a new project or the Edit button to open an existing project.
- Click the Tasks tab.
- Click the Add button to add a new task, or the Edit button to edit an existing task.
