DocsTask Templates
Reusable task configurations for repeatable processes
What a Template Is
A saved set of default field values you can apply when creating a task.
A task template captures a title pattern, description, priority, default assignee, tags, reminder offset, and (optionally) a checklist of subtasks. Applying a template at task-create time pre-fills every field; you can still edit anything before saving.
Creating a Template
Configured by admins and managers.
Open Admin Panel
Go to Admin > Task Templates. Non-admins can request templates but cannot create them.
Click New Template
Give it a recognizable name (e.g., "Client onboarding", "Monthly review").
Set default field values
Title pattern, description, priority, tags, reminder offset, default assignee, and status.
Add a subtask checklist (optional)
List the standard subtasks. When the template is applied, these become the task's initial subtask list.
Save
The template immediately becomes selectable in the task create dialog.
Applying a Template
In the task create dialog.
Open the task create dialog (New Task, + on a column, or Ctrl+Shift+N). Pick a template from the Template dropdown at the top of the form. Every field pre-fills. Edit anything you need to specialize for this instance, then save.
