Create and Manage Tasks

Build sections and task lists, assign work and track it from the Create tasks tab in the ZenAdmin console.

The Create tasks tab (owners, admins, finance and IT) is where you author work for others — and it lists every task you've created, with full editing.

How do I create a task?

Tasks live inside sections, optionally divided into sub-sections:

  1. Click Create new section and give it a title.
  2. Inside a section, use Add sub section if you want a second level of grouping.
  3. Click the add-task row, type a title into Add task, and confirm with Create.

What can I edit?

Everything on your own tasks, inline on the row or from the Details drawer:

  • Title and description
  • Start and due dates
  • Assignee — the person the task lands on; it appears in their My tasks queue
  • Status — To do, In progress, Blocked, Done

You can also drag and drop tasks to reorder them, or move them between sections and sub-sections.

How do I delete tasks or sections?

  • A task: open its Details drawer and use the trash icon, then confirm with Delete.
  • A section: open the section's actions menu and choose Delete section. If it still contains tasks you'll be warned that they'll be deleted too.

Deleting a section deletes every task inside it, and it can't be undone.
