Users can create and manage tasks within groups of which they are a part. Below are the steps to create a task:
1. All the groups accessible to you will be listed under the 'Groups' option in the left panel. Click on one of the group names to start creating a task.
2. An option to create a task will appear on the right side of the screen.
3. Enter a task title directly within the text box, as shown in the above screenshot.
A task is by default assigned to the logged-in user.
By default, the task status is 'To Do', the task priority is 'Normal', and the due date is set to the current date while creating a task.
Refer to the table below to understand the different icons available while creating a task from the 'Tasks' tab:
