Task Templates

Save time by creating reusable templates for frequently created tasks

What Are Task Templates?

Task templates are reusable blueprints for tasks you create frequently. Instead of filling out the same details repeatedly, save a template and create tasks with one click.

✓ Templates vs Recurring Tasks
Templates: Manual creation each time - you control when to use them.
Recurring Tasks: Automatic creation on a schedule - the system creates them for you.
Use templates for tasks you create often but not on a fixed schedule.
