New Release: Sections

By Brian McHale

Tasks make up a major part of any project you manage.

So, when you have a large number of them, it can be easy to get lost as you work your way through them all.

Using Sections, you can group relevant tasks together so you can organize them in your project, creating categories, workflow stages, phases, priorities and more.

Sections - Create Task

Sections are particularly useful when you’re working with Gantt charts, you can see tasks across all phases, or avoid distraction by focusing on just one phase at a time.

So, in the case of the example below, you can see Phase 1 has three tasks inside, while Phases 2 and 3 have one task each.

How to add sections to a project?

Adding sections in Project Central is really easy.

Just click on the three dots on the green Create New Task button and you’ll get the option to Create New Section.

Afterwards, give each of your Sections a name and you can continue to add the relevant tasks to each.
