# How to Create Task List Templates

## This article reviews how to create, modify, and delete task list templates in the Konexus web application.

### Managing/Creating Task List Templates

1. Select **Task Lists** from the drawer menu.
2. Go to the **Manage** tab. The management section of the Task Lists module is accessed by selecting the Manage tab in the secondary toolbar. Users with the Manage task lists permission will be able to access this section to create, modify, and delete task list templates.
3. Click the plus button ![Create Task Lists\_Plus Button](https://support.konexus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Create%20Task%20Lists_Plus%20Button.png?width=26&name=Create%20Task%20Lists_Plus%20Button.png) to create a new task list template.

#### Entering Task List Details

1. Enter a task list title and a folder. When creating a task list template, the subtitle field is optional, but the name and folder fields are required\*.  This ensures easy navigation of task list templates in the future.

Please Note: The folder field is only required when creating a task list template.

#### Incident Association

Task list templates and ad-hoc task lists can be associated with a Named Incident.

1. To access this feature, select the Incident drop-down list and choose the desired Named Incident.

#### Task Creation

1. Before a task list template can be saved, at least one task must be created. Tap the **Add Task** button ![](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/L10HOuo1edLM3_O046B3oo7VZUmBfJIN94qEDv3eqH9yyrtT384wSNDlE_728bWoV_0ElGIVgbI5Y0cKuITG6BNxrfJUkPkkcvuWHMUSEWFf5CwCW9vC_u4eOxWyJAC0IBKWAhHl)to add a task to the template.
2. Assign individual tasks a title and a description. The Task Title field is required and is limited to 80 characters. The Task Detail field is not required, but it is recommended and can provide more information to the assignees.
3. If necessary, reorder tasks by clicking and holding the drag handle icon ![](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/rWa5yXona8yIULai3cT2RW0LnagbnbSKQY-OkjF1Xr2iUQpuxjluhe1PE52amXesupVzD9rAE-gviC_5JUDIiChHohVVhjyhO9S5Fk5c7CR5zxuQUThyXtLduMRH9sr_ct1wWTO0) then moving the task to the desired location.
4. If necessary, delete tasks before saving the template by clicking the **Delete** button in the bottom corner of the Task Creation card.

#### Adding Users

Users can be added with any variety of the four available permission options (Assignee, Watcher, Manager, Activator).

Please Note: The template creator will be automatically added to the user list during creation. This user can be removed, or their permissions can be adjusted if needed.

1. Click the **Add User** button ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/UDUJMVUST3y93BF33t1c60VkL-_3ep1NJqkphO2eOtBrrPiX3eeHDWZOeTrea9A2smUdfxJObGDFcoMIA5hLEZFnfNl6XyN_uKzurCQ7nLQWMhgxk5121zxURihNtAGUzg6E8Xrd)to open the User Selection dialog.

2. In the User Selection dialog, the template creator has the ability to add as many users as needed by clicking the checkbox next to the desired user's name.
3. After all desired users have been selected, the creator needs to click the OK button in the bottom-right corner of the dialog box.
