Creating Tasks in a Path

What Are Tasks?

A Task is the most basic component of a Path. It is essentially an item that the Team Member must complete - it could be anything, such as setting up a new tool, reading some content, watching a video, doing a quiz, etc.

A Task has the following components:

• Title

• Estimated time (optional)

  • Estimated time helps team members know how much time they show allocate for the task, approximately.

  • Estimated time is provided in the format ##h ##m. For example, 2h 20m.

• Mark as optional toggle (this can be selected to inform your Team Member that they can skip the task, for example, a supplementary reading).

• Task content

Creating a Task

1. In the Path Editor, click "Create Task".

2. Hovering over the task shows multiple actions that you can perform directly from the dashboard:

   1. Rename

   2. Duplicate

   3. Set estimated time

   4. Mark as optional

   5. Delete

3. Click on the task to start editing its actual content. This will open the Content Editor.

   1. The next lesson discusses in detail how to use the Editor, however you can immediately start writing content or exploring available widgets by typing "/".

4. Within the editor, you can also change the estimated time or mark/unmark the task as optional by hovering above the title.

5. You can add new tasks from the sidepanel by hovering over the Week you want to add them to, clicking the "+" sign and selecting "Task".

6. Once you are done editing the task, you can either create more content from the sidepanel or return to the main Path Editor page by clicking on the title in the top-left.
