Updated over a week ago

New Task

There are a number of ways to create tasks in Dart. The simplest is to click the “New task” button near the top left of the screen. Then simply give the task a title and any other information and click where it says “Create task”.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut C to create a new task.

If you want to add multiple tasks simply click the “Create more” toggle near the “Create task” button to keep on adding more with ease.

Quick Add Task Creation

In addition to the “New task” button you can also add tasks through the quick add area directly in the main view. To do this just click in the empty row right above your top task while in the Board view. There you can keep adding tasks and pressing Return or Enter to submit each one.

You can also access the quick add area by using the shortcut Shift + C.

Creating a new task from the quick add area

Dart also supports pasting in a list of tasks from somewhere else. Trying pasting in a bulleted list inside the quick add area!

FAQ

Where are tasks created?

By default, tasks are added to whichever dartboard you are currently in. You can change this from the New task popup by clicking on the dartboard and changing it.

Can I edit all the properties of a task before creating it?

Yes, from the new task popup you can edit everything from the description to priority, due date, etc. You may first need to enable these additional fields in settings.

How can I import tasks from another tool?

Go to Settings then go to the Import page. You can upload a file there from another tool or message us at [email protected] to help with a custom import.
