Create a task

The New Task dialog is where you create new tasks in ThenNext.

To display the new task dialog, click on the “create” button in the low right corner of the task board, or search for the task and click “create”. See Taskboard for more details.

Entering Task Details

In the New Task dialog, you can:

• Enter the title of your task

Saving and Adding Tasks

At the bottom of the dialog, you’ll find three buttons:

1. Add to Inbox: Creates the new task and adds it to your inbox. The task will not be visible on the current board but can be found through search.
2. Place on map: Creates the new task, adds it to your inbox, and places it on the current board.
3. Cancel: Discards the new task and closes the dialog.

Note that if you choose Add to Inbox, the task will only appear in search results and won’t be visible on the board unless you specifically place it there using Save and Place or by manually adding it later.

Tip

You can always add a task to the current board by editing the task using the task dialog and click the place icon. See edit task dialog for more details.
