How to Add a Task Subject?

Why This Matters

Keeping tasks organized helps your team stay on top of every project and never miss a step. This setting makes task management smoother for everyone.

Task subjects can be managed easily when creating project tasks. Users can choose a saved task subject from the dropdown or enter a custom subject for a specific task. They can also add task subjects to the database. This makes task creation faster, more organized, and more consistent across projects. Users can also add tags in the task subject and description fields to automatically bring in proposal details, such as the customer address. Admins stay in control through role-based permissions. When enabled, users can add a new task subject to the database directly from the project task screen. Custom subjects can still be used for one-time tasks, but they will not be saved in the database. Follow the steps below to add task subjects to the database and projects.
