Task Information & General Tab
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Task name |
The name of the task. Must not contain an apostrophe character ('). |
|
Assigned to |
Assign the task to one or more project team members. Team members must already be added to the project via the Team tab. |
|
Assign to role |
Assign a project role to the task when the specific resource is not yet confirmed. |
|
Start date |
The planned start date of the task. |
|
Due date |
The deadline for the task. Populated automatically if a duration is entered. If no duration is set, enter the due date here and PSOhub will calculate the duration. |
|
Description |
An optional description providing additional context for the task. |
|
Status |
Defaults to To do. Updated by assigned team members as work progresses until the task is completed. |
|
Priority |
The priority level of the task: N/A, Low, Medium, or High. |
|
Task List |
The Task List the task belongs to. |
|
Effort (Hours) |
The estimated hours required to complete the task. Effort is independent of start and due dates. For example, a task spanning 10 working days may only require 8 hours of effort. Effort appears in the Gantt chart's Effort column and supports budget and resource planning. |
|
Used (Hours) |
Read-only. Hours booked against this task. If hours booked exceed the effort estimate, the value appears in red. |
|
Remaining (Hours) |
Read-only. Reflects Effort minus Used hours. |
|
Tags |
Keywords applied to the task to make it searchable. Tags must first be configured in Settings > Organization before you can apply them to a task. |
|
Dependent on |
Identifies a task that must be completed before this task can begin. Time cannot be logged on a dependent task until its predecessor is complete. |
|
Milestone |
Check this box to mark the task as a milestone. You can also configure invoicing to be triggered when the milestone is reached. |
|
Recurring |
If toggled on, PSOhub automatically recreates the same task using the due date as the new start date. |
|
Hide for guests |
Toggle on to hide the task from guests with access to the project. |
How to Add Checklist Items
Steps
-
Find Checklist underneath the description text box for the task.
-
Click +Add a checklist item and type the name of the sub-task.
- Enter the start date and due date. Assign a resource if applicable.
-
Click Save when finished.
How to Add Notes and Files
Steps
-
Use the Activity tab in the task to add context, attachments, or links to the task at any point during the project:
-
Notes — Click Add note to save a note. The author's name and date are recorded automatically. You can also mention team members in a note.
-
Files — Click Add link to attach files directly on the task.
How to Share a Task via URL
Steps
- Click on the task in a project, My Tasks or All Tasks to open the Task tab.
- In the upper right corner of the Task tab, click the link icon.
- The Task Share URL dialog box opens where you can press Copy to access the link.
⚠️ Important: The task URL only works for team members of the project plan and Admin users. Users outside the project team will not be able to access the task via the link.
