Within Teamwork.com, you can convert tasks
into subtasks of other tasks in your project.
Subtasks allow you to break your workload down into smaller pieces of work grouped under a parent task.
You can change them quickly using drag
and drop or a keyboard shortcut in the List area of your project.
Converting a task to a subtask
To make an existing task into a subtask,
expand the task you want to be the parent task
by clicking the subtasks icon to open the
subtasks area for that task.
Hover over the task you want to convert to a
subtask and use the drag & drop icon to the far left of the task to click and move the task to the subtasks area of the other
task.
You can also use keyboard
shortcuts to convert the task. Hover over a task and press the Tab key on your
keyboard. The task will be indented, and
converted to a subtask of the task above it.
Note: It is not possible to set a repeat directly on a subtask. Therefore, any existing repeat will be removed when you convert a parent task to a subtask.
Converting a task to a subtask of another
subtask
Similarly to converting a task to a subtask
of another task, you can also convert a task
to a subtask of an existing subtask (a sub subtask of the parent task).
Expand the parent task so you can see the
existing subtask, then click the subtasks icon
on that subtask. You can then drag the task
you want to move into the subtasks area.
Convert a subtask to a main task
To change a subtask to a main task, hover
over the task to reveal the move icon to the
left of the task name. Click and drag this to
move the task out of the parent task.
Note: If you move a task that has
subtasks under it, those subtasks will also be
moved with it.
You can also press Shift and Tab on your keyboard to
convert a subtask into a main task.
