Quick Tasks
This screen allows you to create a simple job quickly, with the minimum of fuss. Note that jobs created with Quick Tasks only allocate a single resource to the job - any related resources are ignored. If you want to add other resources, you have to add them by hand in the edit job screen.
- Resource
- Choose a resource to allocate to the job from the drop-down list.
- Quick task
- Choose the task for the job from the drop-down list. Only tasks with "Include on quick tasks list" checked appear in this list.
- Start Time
- Choose the start time - you can either type in a date (and, optionally, time) in the format specified in Settings, or click on the
button to pop up a calendar to help you choose the date.
- End Time
- Choose the end time - you can either type in a date (and, optionally, time) in the format specified in Settings, or click on the button to pop up a calendar to help you choose the date.
- Color
- You can choose a colour for the job (you can add more colors to the list in Color keys). If you leave this set to (default), then the task color or resource color will be used.
- Notes
- Enter free-form notes here. If you set "Show Notes" in Settings, then the notes will appear in a pop up window when you hover your mouse over a job in Resource and Task Views.
- Create
