## Create tasks

Stay on top of things and collaborate with your team by creating, assigning, and tracking tasks. There are a couple of ways to create a new task:

- Use the keyboard shortcut **t **anywhere in the platform to open the **Create** **task **window
- Open search with **cmd/ctrl + k  **then select **Create task** from the list of quick actions
- Create tasks from an [Ask Attio chat](https://attio.com/help/reference/attio-ai/ask-attio/chat-with-ask-attio)

> For a video walkthrough, see **Notes, tasks, and email sending** in Attio Academy.

### Add task content

- Type **@** followed by a record name to tie the task to a record
- Type **@** followed by a member's name to assign the task
- Use natural language to set due dates when creating reminders such as '*call Tuesday at 7pm', 'follow up next week' or 'check-in in September'*

> **Note:** Notifications regarding task assignments and a daily reminder of tasks due can be configured in notification settings.

## View all tasks

The **Tasks** page accessed from your sidebar hosts all tasks from across your workspace. Sort by either due date or assignee by selecting **Sorted by**, then the option, then **Ascending **or **Descending**. You can also filter tasks by a specific assignee by clicking **Filter**, **Assignee**, then **is** or **is not**, and the user. Click the **X** to remove a filter.

Under **View settings** choose **Grouped by** **Due Date, Assignee, Created Date, or Created by**. You can also choose whether or not to show completed tasks with the toggle.

> **Note: **Your sort, group, and filter settings are unique to you. Changes you make will not affect your team members' views.
