Add Subtasks to a Task

Subtasks break a main task into smaller, trackable pieces. Both clients and Genies can view subtasks inside the task page. Clients can create them; Genies use them to track progress.

Where to Find Subtasks

Open any task. Inside the task page, subtasks are accessible in two ways:

  • Subtasks tab — listed at the top of the task page alongside collaboration buttons (Chat, Comments, Activity, Files).

  • Add Subtask button — located below the task description, next to the Add Milestone button. Hovering over it shows a tooltip: "Add Subtask".

How to Add a Subtask

  1. Open the task you want to break down.

  2. Click the Add Subtask button — either the one at the top of the page or the icon below the task description.

  3. A pop-up will appear. Fill in the subtask details:

    • Title — a clear, specific name for the subtask.

    • Date — start and end dates of the subtask

    • Priority Level — Low, Normal, High, Urgent

    • Description — description of subtask

  4. Click on Add Subtask to save the subtask.

Repeat for each subtask you need.

Tracking Subtask Progress

Once subtasks are created, the task page shows a progress indicator. As subtasks are marked completed, a green bar updates to reflect how many are done (for example: 3/4 completed). All updates sync in real time for everyone on the task.

What Each Subtask Includes

Title, Date, Priority Level, Description, Status

Notes

  • Subtasks are visible to both the client and the assigned Genie.

  • The task page is responsive — subtasks are accessible on desktop and mobile.

  • All status and subtask changes appear in the Activity log.
