Making subtasks within ClickUp is an excellent method for dividing and arranging your duties into more compact, easier-to-handle portions. As someone who uses ClickUp, I find this characteristic extremely valuable in monitoring my advancement and guaranteeing that nothing is overlooked.
Step 1: Navigate to the Task
To create a subtask in ClickUp, you’ll first need to navigate to the task where you want to add the subtask. You can do this by clicking on the task from your dashboard or any other view where your tasks are displayed.
Step 2: Open the Task’s Modal
Once you’re on the task’s page, you’ll need to open the task’s modal to access the options for adding subtasks. You can do this by clicking on the task’s title or by clicking on the ellipsis (…) button in the task’s card and selecting “Open Task” from the dropdown menu.
Step 3: Add a Subtask
Once the task’s modal is open, you’ll see a section labeled “Subtasks” where you can add, view, and manage all the subtasks associated with the task.
To add a subtask, simply click on the “Add Subtask” button. This will open a new input field where you can enter the details of the subtask.
Step 4: Provide Subtask Details
In the input field for the subtask, you can enter a title or description for the subtask. You can also add tags, assignees, due dates, and other relevant details to the subtask. This allows you to provide clear instructions and expectations for the subtask.
Additionally, you can use the formatting options provided in the input field to structure your subtask’s description, add bullet points, or even include checklists within the subtask.
Step 5: Save the Subtask
Once you’ve provided all the necessary details for the subtask, you can save it by pressing the “Enter” key on your keyboard or by clicking outside the input field. The subtask will now be added to the list of subtasks under the “Subtasks” section in the task’s modal.
Step 6: Manage Subtasks
ClickUp offers several options for managing your subtasks. You can reorder them by dragging and dropping, edit them by clicking on the respective subtask, or mark them as complete by checking the box next to the subtask.
You can also view all the subtasks associated with a task in the task’s card on your dashboard or any other view where your tasks are displayed. This provides a quick overview of the progress of the task and its subtasks.
Conclusion
Creating subtasks in ClickUp is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance your task management and organization. By breaking down your tasks into smaller subtasks, you can ensure that nothing slips through the cracks and stay on top of your workflow more effectively.
