Note: Tasks can only exist inside of task lists, so you must first create a task list before you can create a task.  If a workspace has no task lists, you will have to create one in order to create a new task.

1. While viewing your "Tasks" area of the workspace, click the "+New" menu, and then the  "Task" option to start creating your task.

   

    

2. Just as with task lists, give your task a name, assign it to a workspace user, and select a due date.  Tasks can only exist within task lists, and you will be unable to save the task, unless you select an available task list.
   
   

   
   
   

3. Click "Save & Close" to see the task added to the task list.  You can come back to this task and edit it at any time.

Tip: When viewing any task, you can use the Task Options drop down to make a duplicate task, by using the "Copy" option.
