    Project task checklists

    A project task checklist gives you the ability to track activities that must be completed on a task.

    For a project task to be considered complete, you can track activities that do not require separate subtasks. For example, you have a human resources-related project that includes a task for interviewing candidates. You can also track booking a meeting room or getting an interview confirmation from the candidate. Create a checklist item for each and mark when they have been completed.

    Checklist items do not have start or end dates, nor do they track effort or cost. By default, a checklist item record provides only a name and a Complete field, which can be set to true or false. The state of the project task is independent of the state of the Complete field on the checklist item.

    Checklists, as well as tasks, are copied into a project template. You also have access to all checklist templates from any project task form.

    Note: Checklists are available for any form that is based on a table extended from the Task table. Administrators can add or remove checklists as needed.
