How to create tasks on a Vaiz board

Step 1: Select the project and board

First, navigate to the project and Kanban board where you want to create tasks.

1. Open the Vaiz application.
2. On the left sidebar, locate the Projects section and select your project. For example, "Apollo Program."
3. Click on the specific board within the project. For example, "Main."

Once you click on the board name, the Kanban board interface will appear.

Step 2: Add task to the board

To create a new task, click on the Add task button in the column where you want the task to appear. For example, click on Add task under the "Default" column.

After clicking Add task, an input field will appear. Enter the title of your task. For example, "My first task to myself." and click Add task, or hit Enter button on your keyboard.

Your task is now created and added to the selected column.

Step 3: Assign the task to Yourself

You can assign the task to yourself or to another team member directly from the board. To do this:

1. Click on the three dots (more options) next to the task title, or user icon in the right bottom corner.
2. In the context menu, select "Assign yourself" to assign the task to yourself.

Select the desired option to apply it to your task. Let's assign it to yourself.

Once assigned, you will see the task with your avatar, indicating that it has been successfully assigned to you.

This visual confirmation helps you quickly identify tasks assigned to you.

Everything is set! You have successfully created and assigned a task on a board in Vaiz.

You can now continue adding tasks and managing your workflow efficiently.

Step 4: Open the task

For example, you can type a prompt like "Describe the task for developing a small to-do app" and let the AI generate the description by pressing Enter.

Once the AI generates the description, review it and click on Insert to add it to the task description field.

The description will be added to your task.
