How to edit or customize a subtask
A subtask adds the flexibility of showing smaller or related steps within a larger task. They can be edited and customized in the Workast web application.
There are two ways to edit a subtask:
- using the floating menu options
- in the task details screen
Customizing a subtask using the floating menu:
- Open the parent (original) task in the Workast web app.
- Mouse over the right side of the subtask to reveal the floating menu.
- Click on the calendar to add or edit a due date or start date.
- Click on the people icon to add or edit assignees.
- Click on the ellipses (three dots) to bring up additional options such as following the subtask, copying the task link, duplicating the task, or removing it.
To edit or customize a subtask in the task details screen:
- Open the parent (original) task in the Workast web app.
- Click on the subtask that you want to customize.
- The subtask details will appear on the right-hand side of your screen.
- You can then edit a subtask in the same way you would a normal task. *
