Important and optional task fields

Task fields determine how the task appears in lists, reports, calendars, time tracking, billing, and workflows.

What you can do

• Important fields often include project, labor category, client, rate schedule, assignee, start date, due date, and estimated time.
• Optional fields may include priority, percent complete, parent task, previous tasks, reminders, repeating settings, linked objects, and custom properties.
• Financial or billing fields may appear depending on configuration and permissions.
• Custom properties allow each organization to capture additional task information.

Environmental consulting example

A sampling task may use a custom property to capture sample media, matrix, monitoring well, or permit reference.
