# Tasks

## Tasks Overview

After clicking on **Tasks** you'll see a list of **all tasks** you're created that are currently active. The list includes the **task** name, a button to start **time** tracking, the **project** name the task is for, and **due date** if you added one. You can also click on the three buttons to edit or delete a task and to mark a task as complete. Another, quicker way to mark a task as complete, is by clicking the light grey square next to the task name. By holding and dragging the three lines on the left side, you can re-arrange the task list. 

You can see *all tasks* or see tasks that are due *today* or *tomorrow*. Check out all your completed tasks by clicking the *done* filter. You also have the option to *filter by project.* To find a certain task quickly, use the search bar on the top right. 

If a task is due today you'll see a blue bar next to the task, whereas a red line indicates that a task is overdue.

## How to Add a Task

To add a new task, click the "Add Task" button. The only required input to create a task is a **title**. If this task belongs to a project, choose the **project** from the drop-down. Give the task a **due date** if you want to get this task done by a certain date. If your task is a **recurring** task, click the drop-down to choose the frequency, *daily, weekly, monthly,* or *yearly*. You'll have to choose a due date to set the task as recurring. Add a **note** to add more information and details for the task. Finally, click "Add New Task" and your task will show on the all tasks list.
