Hello everybody, we keep developing our internal projects to make them closer rivals to a fully-fledged task management system. Today, we are happy to introduce such features as optional sections and templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional Sections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A section or list is a vital element of any task management tool when you can split a project into subprojects and work with each as a phase. However, some teams don’t need to structure tasks in such a strict way. So, we added an option to create a task and keep it away from any section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When creating a new project, choose the ‘List’ layout. Save a project to see the option to create a task or a section. If you go with creating a task, it will be added without any section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having switched to the board view, you will notice your task under the “Untitled” section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"optional<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Existing projects don’t let you create sectionless tasks on the fly, but you can simply drag and drop a task from any section at the top. On the board view, the “Untitled” section will be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Templates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Until recently, you could simply copy a project with all its tasks and sections. This was enough for basic needs, but if you require to create dozens of identical projects, you need templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works now: open a menu of the existing project and choose to make it a template. It is moved to a separate tab on your projects page now where you can find it anytime to edit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you create a new project, there is an ability to choose from your existing templates to create a project with a click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
