Create Subtasks

A Subtask lets you break a larger piece of work down into smaller, more manageable units without losing its connection to the parent. It's placed within the parent Task's timeframe and linked to it through Start-to-Start and Finish-to-Finish dependencies, so it's automatically bound by the parent's duration. If the Subtask ever extends beyond that window, a conflict warning surfaces rather than letting it silently drift. This makes Subtasks useful for detailed, day-to-day planning that sits underneath a broader Task, while keeping that detail tied back to the higher-level scope it belongs to. A Task can also be split into several Subtasks at once when the work needs to be divided into a full sequence rather than just one piece.

1. Click on a Task
    
2. Click on the three-dot icon to open the menu
    
3. Click on Create subtasks
    
4. Decide how to sequence the subtasks
   • Create a single subtask for the full duration
   • Create tasks no longer than [x] days
     • Clicking on this option will open a field in which to type in a duration
   • Create at the start of each
     • Clicking on this option will open a dropdown in which to select the starting point of each subtask split (best used for multi-week duration Tasks)
        
5. Click the Create button which will show you how many Subtasks will be created

You can also create Subtasks on one-day Tasks, which also allows you to create Predecessor and Successor Tasks.

1. Hover over the Task to which you wish to add a predecessor, subtask, or successor
    
2. Click on the dot that appears above the cursor
    
3. Click on either the Predecessor, Subtask, or Successor icons to insert it in its corresponding spot relative to the Task
