Checklists

Answer each checklist line of a task and add a note

The checklist lists the steps of a task. Each line receives one answer.

Requirements: the Edit Any Task permission, or an assignment to the task. Other team members read the checklist but cannot answer it.

Steps

  1. Open the task page.
  2. Select the Checklist tab. The count on the tab shows the number of answered lines.
  3. For each line, select one answer button.
  4. Optional: enter text in the Note for this line… field of the line.

The card header shows the progress, for example 4 of 13 checked. When a line has the answer Problem, the header adds the count, for example 4 of 13 checked · 1 problem.

Answers

ButtonMeaning
OKThe line passed.
ProblemThe line failed.
N/AThe line does not apply to this task.

A line that has no answer reads Not checked for team members who cannot answer it.

Notes

A note saves when the cursor leaves the note field, if the line already has an answer. A note on a line without an answer is sent together with the next answer button that is selected.

Selecting another answer button changes the answer of a line. The note stays.

Notifications

Each answer creates the notification Checklist updated for the team members assigned to the task and the team members who follow it. The default delivery is the in-app feed only.
