This is the overview page where you are able to create and filter tasks.

The 'Create task' page

Select an appropriate title and assign responsible users for the task. We recommend that you add a concise description to ensure the assigned user(s) has sufficient context for the assignment. You can add a deadline if the task has one. {% hint style="info" %} If you frequently create tasks that a group of users can handle, consider creating a [User Group](/reference/user-management/user-groups.md) and assigning it to this group instead. {% endhint %} You can attach multiple entities to the task, such as [products](/fundamental-concepts/data-management.md), [categories](/fundamental-concepts/data-model.md), variant groups, [variants,](/fundamental-concepts/data-management.md) assets and [global list values](broken://pages/33UGJbwodzi2bP6o2PZJ). When you're ready, you can create the task. You can now safely go back to the overview page. ### Set up a task from a product page To create tasks directly from a [product](/fundamental-concepts/data-management.md) page, go to the desired [product](/fundamental-concepts/data-management.md) from the product catalogue. Click the kebab menu :ellipsis-vertical: in the top-right corner and select 'Create task'. This will add the [product](/fundamental-concepts/data-management.md) automatically to the tasks entities list.

--- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.struct.com/tutorials/guides/how-to-use-tasks/how-to-set-up-and-edit-a-task.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
