# How to set up and edit a task

### Set up a task from the overview

To create a new task, go to the top right menu, select 'Tasks', then 'Go to task overview' and click 'Create task' to create a new task.

This will present you with 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).&#x20;

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 <i class="fa-ellipsis-vertical">:ellipsis-vertical:</i> 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.

### Edit a task

To edit a task, go to the task overview page. If you can not find the task, use the top menu to filter or search for the task title. Hover over the desired task to reveal a menu on its right. Click the "Edit" <i class="fa-pencil">:pencil:</i> icon.
