Overview

Whenever you create a new Task Sheet view for an existing or new Project, it comes with six standard Task columns: Title, Task ID, Status, Priority, Start Date and Due Date. You can hide most of these columns or add more columns to your Task Sheet. However, you cannot change the columns' name or type. You can also adjust theser columns to better fit your workflow.

Title

The Title column is where you enter the name/title of your Task. It is a single-line text type column and is frozen by default. You cannot change the name or type of the Title column, it's also the only column that cannot be hidden from the Task Sheet.

Task ID

Whenever a Task is created, it is automatically assigned a unique Task ID through which it can be shared and identified. Since the system automatically generates the Task ID, you cannot edit the values in this column.

Status

The Status column shows the status individual Tasks. It's a single picklist value type column. By default, the status available are To-Do, In Progress, On-Hold and Completed. You can click on the Options icon on the Status column and select Manage Status to create custom statuses for your Project or choose a Status template.

Priority

This column indicates the Task's urgency. This is also a single picklist value type column like Status. By default the values available are Critical, High, Medium and Low. You cannot create pre-set templates for Priority as with Status but you can create custom values that better match your requirements.

Start Date

This column represents the Task's start date. Note that it does not auto-populate on Task creation but must be filled in by a user. It is a date type column which cannot be edited or managed. If your Project has a Timeline or Calendar view, always ensure that your Tasks have the Start Date column filled out.

End Date

Similar to the Start Date column, the End Date Column is a date type field that shows the Task's end date. It must be filled in by the user and does not auto-populate. This column cannot be edited or managed. If your Project has a Timeline or Calendar

Non-default Standard Columns

Some standard columns are not available in a project by default but can be added later by the user. These include Last Comment, Created By, Modified by, Created Time and Modified Time
