Task overview

Tasks play a crucial role in monitoring activities and events related to matters. Through the use of fundamental task features in bilabl, you can generate and modify tasks, record time/cost records on tasks, indicate task completion, and have a clear understanding of the deadlines for upcoming tasks.

You can add tasks in bilabl using multiple methods, such as the Quick Add button, adding tasks to the matter, or adding tasks under the tasks tab. In this section, we will guide you through the process of adding a task using the Quick Add button, as the other methods will be similar.
