How-to Guide

1. Create an Auto Task field

Entry path: the plus button on the right side of the table header → Auto Task

  1. Open the multidimensional table that you want to edit.
  2. Click the plus button on the right side of the table header.
  3. In the field type list, select Auto Task.
  4. Enter a field name.
  5. Click OK to finish creating the field.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: a new Auto Task field column appears in the table.
  • Next action available: you can right-click the field title and continue to field settings.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: if you do not select Auto Task in the field type list, a different field type may be created instead.
  • Environment note: you need edit permission for the current multidimensional table.

2. Configure field settings

Entry path: right-click the field title → Field Settings

  1. Right-click the title of the Auto Task field.
  2. Select Field Settings.
  3. In the settings panel, choose a task type. Available options include notifying a contact when a status checkbox is selected, when content changes, and when a due date is reached.
  4. Select the status field. This field needs to be a checkbox field. If one is not available, create a checkbox field directly.
  5. Select the contact field for notifications. This field needs to be a contact field. If one is not available, create a contact field directly.
  6. Finish the setup and close the settings panel, or continue adjusting the configuration.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: the settings panel shows the selected task type and linked fields.
  • Next action available: you can reopen field settings later and modify the configuration.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: if checkbox fields or contact fields are not prepared first, some configurations cannot be completed right away.
  • Environment note: notification logic usually depends on an online collaboration environment, so keeping a network connection is recommended.
