To create a sub-task in Desklog, go to Projects<\/strong> and select Project List<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You will be taken to a page where all projects are listed. Choose the project of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you select a project, you will see multiple tasks associated with it. Select the parent task<\/strong> to which you want to add a sub-task, and click the arrow icon<\/strong> next to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Add New Sub Task<\/strong> section will appear. Enter the sub-task name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To assign users, click on the User icon<\/strong>. A list of users will appear, select one or more assignees from the dropdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To assign time, click on the clock icon<\/strong> on the right side. A box will appear where you can enter the required time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the initial view, the assigned time shown beside the parent task represents the total time for that task, including both the parent task and all its sub-tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To view the time assigned specifically to the parent task, simply click the arrow on the left. This will expand the task and display the time assigned to each individual item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add task tags, click on the tag icon<\/strong> and select the relevant tags from the dropdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To set the task type, click on the task type icon<\/strong> and choose either Normal<\/strong> or Bug<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After filling in all the required fields, click Add Sub Task<\/strong>. The sub-task will be added successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
