How do you create a Task in CMST

A task is a specific piece of work that needs to be completed by a certain deadline date. Good task management helps employees stay productive by setting clear priorities and making delegation easier.

Using a task management tool can replace the need for email and chat to communicate about tasks. It lets you organize and track tasks easily, assign them to team members, and see who’s working on what. You can view all task details and discussions in one place, which helps keep everything on track and provides a clear overview of task status—whether it’s Pending, In progress, Completed, or Important.

Benefits of a Task

    • Efficient Task Management.
    • Uninterrupted Communication.
    • Improved Accessibility.
    • Transparency.
    • It solves the problem of forgetfulness.

Here is a small guide on how can you create a Task in CMST.

  • Log in to your CMST account.
  • From the left pane, access “Task”.
  • It provides access to a board where you can see the “Create Task” button.
  • A new dia box appear where you can input the following:
    “Select User”     (selecting this enables you to select the responsible user for the task being created),
    “Title”(Give a suitable title to the task),
    “Description”(add the description for an overview to the task being created),
    “Deadline date” (add the date you want the task to be complete) and
    “Deadline time”    (add the time you want the task to be complete).
  • Click on the “Save” once you complete the appeared dialogue box.
  • Once you save the task, you can view all existing tasks, and get the overview of the created task.
  • To get a detailed view of the created task, click on it.

Further, you are able to add the Description, create a Checklist (if required), and Comment (if any).

Checklist

A checklist is a preference that enables the creator to distribute a task. The multiple checklists act as actions for the task being created.

  • Below the “Status” you see the “Action” enabling you to change the Deadline, Assignee, and Assign student (associating a student to the task), Get Shareable link (easy access to the task), and Delete.
  • “Deadline” (Here you can extend the task deadline).
  • “Assignee” (Here you can add more users to the task).
  • “Assign Student” ( Here the student could be associated to the task being created)
  • “Get Shareable Link” ( You can access the link to share the Task).
  • “Delete” ( Here you can Delete a task if needed).
