# Creating tasks

## **Creating a task in the browser**

On the Kiho home page, click *Tasks* in the menu on the left.

In the lower-right corner of the tasks view, there is a green plus icon that allows you to create a new task.

### Creating a task

Enter a description (the task name) for the task.

You can also fill in any additional details you want, such as the customer, accounting dimension, and contact person.

In addition, you can enter additional details that will appear in the task details for the user assigned to the task.

When resourcing, you can specify an asset for each assignee with which the task must be completed. If only an assignee is added, they can complete the task using any asset or without an asset.

> *Tietonen Teija can complete the task only by logging into the asset Hilux 234-aad, while Haukka-Paikka Hannu can complete the task using any asset, or without an asset*.

From the *Locations* tab, you can set a location for the task, allowing the assignee to navigate directly to the site using the Kiho mobile app. You can also move the pin on the map if no street address is available.

You can set an estimated start and end time for the task, and specify when the task becomes visible to the user.

Go to the *Products* tab. Select products from the dropdown menu. You can predefine product quantities for the task – that is, how much of each product has been ordered. You can also leave the quantity blank if the delivered quantity is not yet known when creating the task.

While carrying out the task, the assignee records the delivered quantity in the task's product entries.

Kiho will display a summary of the created task. If all task details are correct and you want to assign the task for execution, click *Save*.
