# Aufgaben meistern

Wer sind eigentlich diese Aufgaben? Wie werden Sie erstellt? Welche Felder gibt es?

Unsere Aufgaben können noch viel mehr als nur Pflichtfelder (Tracker, Thema, Status, Priorität). Neugierig auf die weiteren Felder? Dann sind Sie hier genau richtig.

## Die Felder

Am schnellsten lernen Sie, wenn Sie direkt Aufgaben erstellen. Wir zeigen Ihnen wie.

*Bitte beachten: Je nach Rolle und Berechtigungen sind möglicherweise nicht alle hier vorgestellten Felder für Sie sichtbar. Ist aber kein Problem. Wir schaffen das auch so.*

### Die Basics: Tracker, Privat, Thema und Beschreibung

![](basic_issue_fields.png)  
*Unsere Basics auf einen Blick*

  - **Tracker** – bitte die für die Aufgabe am zutreffendste Kategorie wählen ([[Create_a_custom_workflow_for_recurring_tasks|mehr über Tracker hier]]).
  - **Privat** – mit einem Häkchen bleibt diese Aufgabe für andere Projektteilnehmer unsichtbar, auch wenn diese natürlich alle anderen Aufgaben innerhalb des Projektes weiterhin sehen können.
  - **Thema** – bietet Raum für einen kurzen und sprechenden Aufgabennamen.
  - **Beschreibung** – ideal für weitere Informationen, die Sie mit unseren Formatierungsoptionen zusätzlich optisch gliedern können. Mehr über die in Planio verwendete Auszeichnungssprache *Textile* erfahren Sie über den Klick auf das **Hilfe-Icon**.

### Planungs- und projektrelevante Felder

![](project_management_fields.png)  
*Felder für Planung und Projektsteuerung*

  - **Status** – für den aktuellen Bearbeitungsstand.  
    \***Priorität** – für Dringlichkeitsstufe und Wichtigkeit, auch in Relation zu anderen Aufgaben.
  - In the **Assignee** field, select the person to whom the issue should be assigned. The assignee, like a watcher (see below), receives e-mail notifications when an update to the issue occurs.
  - In the **Category** field, select the relevant category for this issue. If you'd like to create a new category, click on the small + icon next to it.
  - In the **Target milestone** field, select a milestone. Milestones will be displayed alongside their issues on the roadmap of your project. To create a new milestone, click on the + icon next to it.
  - In the **Parent task** field, enter a task/issue number or enter keyword text of a task that is a parent to your task - Planio will actively display all tasks that match your text. Click the parent task when it appears.
  - In the **Start date** field, enter the date when the issue should begin in `yyyy-mm-dd` format or click the icon to launch the mini-calendar.
  - In the **Due date** field, enter the date when the issue is due in `yyyy-mm-dd` format or click the icon to launch the mini-calendar.
  - In the **Estimated time** field, enter the number of hours to be allocated to the issue.
  - In the **% Done** field, select the current percentile value of the issue’s completion rate.

*Please note that if you don't have issue categories or milestones yet, the fields will not be shown. You can create them within your project **Settings**.*

### Customer related fields

Planio lets you work together with your customers even when they haven't got their own user account. If an issue is associated with a customer company and contact, you can optionally send issue updates to your customers via e-mail. Their response will automatically update the respective issue in Planio. Both companies and contacts can be managed in the **Customers** tab within your project.

*Fields for customer companies and contacts*

  - In the **Customer company** field, enter the name of an existing company - Planio will actively display all companies that match the name. Click the company when it appears.
  - In the **Customer contact** field, select the name of the contact within the company who is associated with the issue. 
  - In the **Additional customer contacts** field, you can add additional contacts from within the customer company that should receive issue updates in CC. Simply enter names or e-mail addresses - Planio will select or create contacts automatically for you. You can add as many additional contacts as you like, to add a new line, simply click on **Add contact**.

### Files and watchers

![](files_and_watchers.png)  
*Fields for file attachments and watchers*

  - In the **Files** field, click **Choose Files** to launch the file upload tool. This field is used to attach files that are relevant to the issue. Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop files from your computer onto the issue form to attach them.
  - In the **Watchers** field, select the check box(es) to indicate other people within the project team who should be kept aware of the issue via e-mail notifications. Users that aren't shown can be added by clicking on **Search for watchers to add**.

## Finalizing your issue

  - Click **Create** to finalize the issue and view its details; or,
  - Click **Create and continue** to finalise the issue and create an additional issue; or,
  - Click **Preview** to view the appearance of the issue’s description (very useful if you have included wiki syntax text in your description).
