Once you have created a project in TeamSpace, you can start planning your project.

Start by adding tasks and subtasks, what needs to be done, as well as assigning, managing, and editing every entry in the Plan section. Is a great feature to notify team members of a specific assignment that needs to be completed, along with information about the task and other details (images, tables, etc.)

Task status: choose the status of your task, open or closed

This way you don’t have to create and recreate older tasks, you have now…template feature in Team Space. Enjoy! After you save it as a template, you’ll find your new template in the Templates section (Plan – > Templates, as in Figure 5)
