How do I create a "task"?
John Reekie, 4 Aug 1999

Tasks are located in forums, together with regular articles and posted files. If this is a brand-new task, adding a task is essentially the same procedure as for articles (except that the link in the left-hand margin that starts the procedure is labeled "Add task," of course!)

The form for creating a task is similar to that for creating an article, except for two items:

1. There is no Attached files radiobutton. This is because uploaded files cannot be attached to tasks.
2. There are two additional fields at the top labelled "Status" and "Assigned to." Use the menus to choose a status and to assign the new task to someone in the group that owns this forum. If the menu entries do not contain what you want, simply type a value in the text field underneath the menu.
