Create a task

Tasks are the things you actually have to do — an exam to revise for, an assignment to hand in, a chapter to read. Capture one in seconds, then add a course or deadline when you know them.

  1. Click Home in the navigation.

  2. In the panel on the right, open the Todos tab to see your task list.

  3. Click Create task to open the Create a Task dialog.

  4. Type a name for your task. Under Type & priority, pick a type — Exam, Assignment, Study, Reference, Homework, Project, or Reading.

    {
  "id": "web.tasks.create-a-task.create-dialog",
  "platform": "web",
  "route": "/",
  "actions": [
    {
      "click": {
        "testId": "home-todos-tab"
      }
    },
    {
      "click": {
        "testId": "add-todo-button"
      }
    },
    {
      "fill": {
        "testId": "todo-title-input",
        "value": "Analysis II — problem set 3"
      }
    }
  ],
  "clip": {
    "testId": "create-todo-dialog",
    "pad": 16
  }
}

  5. Optionally choose an Associated course, add a Description, and set a Deadline.

  6. Click Confirm. Your task appears in the list straight away — and on every device, in real time.

On the Latte desktop app

The desktop app shows the same task list and dialog; tasks you create there sync identically.
