Walkthrough of nTask

Anyone familiar with project management tools will find comfort in a familiar look and feel when they first log in to nTask.

For this walkthrough, let’s create a simple project following project management best practices.

We start by navigating to the Project menu option in the left-hand menu.

Simply click on the “Add New” button, choose Project, and a new dialog will appear to name the project.

As you create your project, note that:

• The project description field can contain rich text as well as videos and images.
• You can assign a color to your project to help it stand out and be more easily recognized in the user interface.
• Project Status, including Not Started, In Progress, On. Hold, Completed, and Cancelled, are set.

 

There are a number of powerful capabilities exposed to you at the project level, let’s look at the next screen that shows up while creating a project and explore these features.

Is This a Billable Project?

Custom Fields

When you click on the Add/Edit Field option you’ll be impressed by the number of field types you can add to any project, including:

• Single line text
• Multiple line text
• Dropdown
• Checklist
• Date
• Email
• Phone
• Files/media
• Website URL
• People/Person
• Number
• Money
• Rating
• Section
• Location

And, when you create a new custom field, you can choose if it’s available to a single workspace or all.

This, of course, allows you to re-use the same custom fields on all projects, just a few, or simply this one.
