What is the Projects hierarchy for non-development work?

I am a marketing manager attempting to use Zoho Projects to keep track of content creation, design, website, and campaign projects. I'd like to understand the hierarchy of the following components:

- Project

- Task

- Subtask

- Issue

- Task list

- Milestone

For example, I need to create a "project" in Projects for an email campaign due to go out on 12/30/20. In the "project" I need to assign the following steps to various people on my team:

Schedule meeting with experts
Write an article from meeting notes
Design flyer for article
Publish the article on the website
Design Email Campaign
Design Social Banners about article
Schedule Social Banners
Schedule Email

What should the "project" be if I have tons of these campaigns on top of other marketing projects on a platform where other teams work? I was using a Task List for each "project" but it doesn't have a due date associated with it and I can't view it on the calendar. Then I started using Issues for each "project" because they show up on the calendar only by due date, but I can't view the tasks in each issue as a list (I have to go into each issue and click into the tasks).

Now with the milestones, I thought that could be a good thing to use for "projects" but I don't have a task list for that either.

Yes, I would use a Project for each of my "projects" except that I do need some overall organization (i.e. Marketing Campaigns vs. Corporate Requests vs Digital Marketing).

What do you all suggest? I wish I had the option to view tasks in the Calendar view by duration or I have no option to view it by due date, instead it shows the entire duration of the task.

Tip: How to print the Gantt View
Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

Four types of task dependencies
"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise

Task Inline Editing Enhancement
Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
