Within Google Sheets, you can add tasks to your projects using the Teamwork add-on.
The add-on can be installed directly from the G Suite Marketplace. Once you click install, you can select and authorize which Google account you want to use to install the add-on.
You will then see Teamwork Projects for Google Sheets listed as an option in the Add-ons dropdown when you have a document open in Google Sheets.
You can also set up the add-on from within a sheet. When you have a document open, click Add-ons in the horizontal menu bar and select Get add-ons from the dropdown.
In the add-ons modal, use the search field in the top right to search for Teamwork Projects. Click the add-on card to open the details view.
You will be asked to select which Google account you want to use with the add-on.
Once you Allow in the permission access window, you will then see a new Teamwork Projects for Google Sheets option in the Add-Ons dropdown.
Click the Add a task option to open the Teamwork add-on on the right-hand side of your sheet. Here, you can either log into an existing Teamwork account or sign up to create a new one.
Once you have entered your Teamwork credentials, you will also need to grant access permissions to your account for the add on.
To add a new task to your Teamwrok site, select the Add a task option from the dropdown.
In the quickly add tasks modal, you can select a project to add the task(s) to. To add multiple tasks to the project, put each task on a new line.
Task properties
You can use various commands to assign properties to the tasks, just like when posting tasks via email:
- (bugs) or [#bugs] - specify an existing task list to add the task to (task list name needs to match exactly).
- @name - assign the task
- [tomorrow] or [15/09/2019] - set the due date
- [start date][due date] e.g. [today][next monday] - set start and due dates
- ! - low priority
- !! - medium priority
- !!! - high priority
- #tag - add a tag to the task
Note: When setting a start date and due date, the system will automatically use the later date entered as the due date.
Options
