Adding Tasks to your Project Schedule

Torrey Rawlings Updated by Torrey Rawlings

XactRemodel line items come with a lot more data than pricing. Line items also contain data for the time it takes to do the work. This data can be used for building a project schedule based on the line items in a project.

The ability to add photos to a project is available to users on the XactRemodel PRO subscription. To upgrade your subscription to XactRemodel PRO, contact our sales team at 1-833-352-9228.

Tasks

Tasks are work to be completed and are created by clicking the "Add task" button in the upper left of the calendar.

Tasks encompass the following components:

  • Status: Update the task status to "Not started," "In progress," or "Complete" to track progress effectively.
  • Labor, Crew Size, and Duration: Input labor hours and crew size; the system calculates the task duration based on this information.
  • Start and End Date: Choose a start date manually, and the end date is automatically calculated based on the specified duration.
  • Blocked By: Identify tasks that must be finished before commencing work on the current task.
  • Description: Provide essential details for the task.
  • Attached Items: These are the items already linked to your task, integral to the work to be performed.
  • Available Items: Items not yet associated with a task; they remain accessible for addition to any task.
Editing a Task:
  1. Click into a task from your schedule.
  2. Make any adjustments as necessary in the "DETAILS" tab.
