Getting Started - Step 3. Add tasks to your first project
Since your project structure is configured, you can start adding tasks to that project. This step shows how you can create tasks, assign users and attach files to them.
Add tasks to your first project
Whenever a task is created in AceProject, it must be associated with a specific project. The same goes for users: they must be assigned to the project for them to be assigned to tasks within that project.

Here's the procedure to add tasks to your project.

Enter the main task information
  1. Go to "My Office -> My Projects -> My Assigned Projects" and open your project by clicking on the project name to open it.
  2. Click the "Add a Task" link, on top right of the "Incomplete Tasks" page.
  3. Enter the main task information under the "New Task" tab. When you are done, click the "Save" button to save the task and leave it non-assigned or click the arrow next to the "Save" button to save the task and perform further actions.
Assign users to the task
  1. Once you have entered the task information, click the "Assignment" tab, in the "Edit Task Information" page.
  2. All users who are assigned to the project are displayed there. Simply check the one(s) you wish to assign to the task. Click "Update" when you are done, or click the arrow next to the "Update" button to save your changes and perform further actions.
Attach files to the task
File attachments are useful if you need to provide assigned users with extra information. For example, you might need to attach pictures or PDF files that are necessary for the task to be accomplished.

Here's the procedure to attach a file to the task:
  1. Choose the file on your computer by clicking the "Browse..." button.
  2. Enter a description to inform other users about the file content.
  3. Enter a version number (useful if you need to keep a history of different iterations made to the same file).
  4. You can lock the document to prevent other users from overwriting it. If it is unlocked, other users can overwrite the file if they download it, modify it, and upload it with the same version number. If the file is locked, other users can download it, but they cannot upload and overwrite the file.
  5. Click "Upload" file when you are done or click the arrow next to the "Upload File" button to upload the file(s) and perform further actions.
