Adding new task to all existing tasks lists currently open

Adding new task to all existing tasks lists currently open

Looking to be able to add a new task to a task list template and have the option to automatically add it to all current tasks lists.  

Reason:  We are a franchisor. My job is to help new franchises get open. We have a team of 5 departments that each have their set of tasks (marketing, legal, operations, administration, technology). Each department will have one to two task lists. The process is the same for each new opening.


At any given time, we can have 10-15 new franchises in the opening process at different stages. We often find a new task that is beneficial to the opening process and want to add it to the task list. And those new tasks will affect the 10 - 15 franchises in the opening process.

 

For example, i just realized i am consistently forgetting to email a cash flow sheet and a sales route spreadsheet to the new franchises. I want to add that task to my process so I don't forget. I have 8 franchises in the opening process I need to make sure I do this for.  Going into each franchise in the opening process to manually add the tasks is not practical.  I have to make sure I don’t forget any during the updates. 

 

The solution I am looking for is when I add a new task to the template task list, that it will give me the option:

 

  1. to add to all existing task lists in the opening process
  2. only add to new projects going forward

      • 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.
