New task default parameters

Project > “Project settings” icon at the top right of the project window (below the user drop-down menu). You access the project settings. Go to “New task default parameters”.

Set a default duration

You can assign a default duration of one day or one hour to new tasks created by clicking on the options in the drop-down menu.

Thus, the duration is automatically generated in the “When” tab of the task.

Schedule the task at its creation date by default

You can check the option “Plan today” in the “New task default parameters” section of the project settings.

This option allows you to automatically schedule a new task on the day it is created.

Using this configuration, the task is scheduled as soon as it is created in the Gantt chart of the “When” view of the project in question.

Assign the creator to the task by default

You can assign a task to its creator when the task is created by checking the relevant box.

This configuration allows you to automatically add the member who created the task on the “Who” tab of the task.

Setting default reminders

You can set a default reminder rule for the tasks created in the project.

These reminders, as well as those defined at task level, can concern either all task members (Who tab), or only yourself, even if you are not working on the task:

To learn more about reminders, see the article on this subject: Reminders on a task.

Good to know: if you define a default setting during a project, it will only apply to newly created tasks in the project.
