Task templates in Zoho Connect
What is a task template?
Sometimes, tasks of a similar nature are repeated at different places. Let's say, you handle your company's website, and every time you need a new page, you assign a task to one of your writers. Instead of creating the same task over and over again, you could simply save an existing task as a template and re-use it when you need it.
How to create a task template?
- Click Tasks in the left navigation pane.
- Open the task you'd like to save as a template.
- Click the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the task pop-out.
- From the drop-down, select Save as template.
- Provide a template name. The maximum characters allowed is 50.
- Check the items you'd like to use in the template and click Save Template.
Task templates can only be created by the board admins.How to view saved templates?
