# Project Tasks

Project Tasks represent the individual activities that make up a project. Each task can be assigned to a resource, allocated a duration, tracked through different statuses, and monitored throughout its lifecycle. CRM Project Manager provides a centralized view of all project tasks and enables users to manage task details, dependencies, and timesheets.

#### Project Tasks List

The **Project Tasks** tab displays all tasks associated with the selected project.

The task list includes the following information:

By using this structure for the Tasks, you can order against this Reference Id to see the logical grouping, regardless of sequential start date.</p></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Priority</td><td valign="top">The priority of the task.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Task Name</td><td valign="top">The name of the task</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Status</td><td valign="top">The current status or stage of the task.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Project </td><td valign="top">The Project Name associated with this task</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Assigned User</td><td valign="top">The user that has been assigned the task</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Allocated</td><td valign="top">The amount of days (or part thereof) that have been assigned to the task</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Billed</td><td valign="top">The amount of billable days (or part thereof) that have been assigned to the task.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Unbilled</td><td valign="top">The amount of billable days (or part thereof) that have been assigned to the task.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Remaining</td><td valign="top">The amount of days (or part thereof) that are remaining on this task.</td></tr></tbody></table>

#### Task Details

Selecting a task opens the **Task Details** screen, where additional task information can be viewed and maintained.

The Accounts Payable Rate</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">AR Rate</td><td valign="top">A currency vale. The Accounts Receivable Rate</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Billed</td><td valign="top">This is a calculated field of the total number of days that have been drawn down as billable days in Timesheets on this Task.</td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Description</td><td valign="top">Full detail on the Task itself.

#### Task Management

From the **Task Details** screen, users can perform the following actions:

* Update task information.
* Change the task status.
* Copy an existing task.
* Create Timesheet entries against the task.
* Monitor allocated, billed, and remaining time.

#### Copy Task

CRM Project Manager provides a **Copy Task** feature that allows users to create a duplicate of an existing task.

When a task is copied:

* The task details are copied to the new task.
* Users can modify the copied task as required.
* The copied task can then be saved as a separate project task.

This feature simplifies the creation of similar tasks within a project and helps reduce repetitive data entry.
