Create a To-do List
Individual to-dos need to belong to a list so that's where we'll start. Click the "+New List" button to get started, give it a title, and type out a description if you'd like to. The description (1) is a great place to add notes, files, links, or even @mention people:
At the top of every to-do list, you'll see a pie chart. This quickly shows you the number of completed to-dos in your lists. This way, you always know how much you've done:
In addition to that, you can:
- Use a to-do list template to create a new list
- Track this newly created list on the Hill Chart
💡TIP: Do the same sorts of to-dos over and over? Save yourself time by creating a to-list template!
Adding a new To-do
After you've created a to-do list, it's time to start adding your to-dos!
Click the Add a to-do button:
Start with individual to-dos by giving it a title. You can get descriptive here by adding notes, designating when it is due, assigning it to anyone you're on that project with, and even choose to notify someone specific when it's done. Options!
🗒️ NOTE: It isn't possible to create a to-do without a to-do list.
Assigning To-dos
🔗 Working with others? What about deadlines? Assign your to-dos ☑
Recurring to-dos
🔗 Need to update marketing materials every month? Mail out paperwork on a weekly basis? Or remember to clean your humidifier? Set a recurring to-do 🔄
Bulk assign, archive, or edit due dates
🔗 Long lists? No problem. Use bulk actions to assign, archive and edit your to-dos.
Reassign someone's to-dos in bulk
🔗 Reassign someone's to-dos. Account owners can reassign a user's to-dos in a single project or across all projects, from Adminland.
Assigning multiple people to a to-do
🔗 Sometimes more than one person will need to complete the same assignment. Here's how to assign multiple people to a to-do in Basecamp.
Group To-dos
🔗 Need a lightweight sublist for your to-do list? Create a To-do Group!
Convert a group into a new list
🔗 It's natural for to-do groups to evolve and need to become their very own to-do lists. Good thing you can convert a group into a new list!
Get notified about new To-Dos
🔗 Want to know when a new to-do is added? Enable that notification right from the to-do list.
