# Project task

A key part of creating a project is specifying the various tasks involved. Specify tasks by creating one line per task on the **Tasks** FastTab on the **Project card** page. Every project must have at least one task.

## Create a project task

1. Choose the ![Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/search_small(3).png) icon (Alt+Q), enter **Projects**, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the **Project card** for a relevant project.
3. On the **Tasks** FastTab, fill in the fields as necessary on a new line.
4. To indent tasks and create a hierarchy, choose the **Tasks** action, then choose **Indent Project Task**.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all tasks you need for the project.
6. To specify the project task with information from another project task, choose the **Copy Project Task From** action, fill in the fields as necessary, and then choose **OK**.

## The Project Task card

The **Project Task card** provides additional information on the project task:

- Location for the project task.
- Customer and invoicing method for the project task.
- Delivery and shipping settings.
