### 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](https://docs.struct.com/reference/user-management/user-groups) and assigning it to this group instead.
{% endhint %}

You can attach multiple entities to the task, such as [products](https://docs.struct.com/fundamental-concepts/products-and-variants), [categories](https://docs.struct.com/fundamental-concepts/catalogues-and-categories), variant groups, [variants,](https://docs.struct.com/fundamental-concepts/products-and-variants) assets and [global list values](https://docs.struct.com/fundamental-concepts/global-lists).&#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](https://docs.struct.com/fundamental-concepts/products-and-variants) page, go to the desired [product](https://docs.struct.com/fundamental-concepts/products-and-variants) 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](https://docs.struct.com/fundamental-concepts/products-and-variants) 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.
