Checklists provide a simple way to track the progress of tasks without creating additional records. Checklists can be added to the form view of any table that extends Task [task].

For example, if a support agent is assigned an incident task to investigate a wireless issue, a checklist can be used to document the individual steps taken.

Checklists are added to records after they are submitted. You cannot add a checklist as you create a record.

Using checklists

You can add, remove, or rearrange checklist items. You can also save a checklist as a template for future use on other records. Any user can create or edit a checklist and check off completed items.
