Create a new task
Follow these steps to create a new task in Fusion Online. You can create either a Project Task or a Non-Project Task depending on your needs.
Step 1: Start creating a task
Click the Create button in the application header or the + create new task link at the top of any task view.
A menu will appear with the following options:
Project Task: Choose this if you want to create a task within a specific project.
Non-Project Task: Choose this for tasks that are not tied to a project (e.g., administrative or personal tasks).
Select the desired option to open the Task Details view.
Once a project task is created, it cannot be moved to another project.
Step 2: Specify required fields
In the Task Details view, provide the following information:
Name: Enter a name that describes the task.
Project: If you selected Project Task, choose the project this task belongs to. The system will remember your last project selection for convenience.
Duration Range: Specify a duration range (e.g., "2–4 days") to reflect the estimated time to complete the task. The duration range includes the Focus Duration (best estimate) and the Low-Risk Duration (accounting for potential risks).
Step 3: Add additional information (optional)
Depending on the task type, you can provide additional details to better define the task. For example:
Assignee: Assign the person who will be completing the task.
Description: Add a detailed description if needed.
Managers: Assign task managers.
Step 4: Save and find your task
Once you’ve entered all necessary information, click the Save button to create the task. The task key, a unique identifier for the task, e.g. "AR-27", will appear at the top of the Task Details view. You can use this key to locate the task again later by entering it in the global search at the top of the app or by including it in filters. The task will also appear in your task views based on the configured filters.
