You can create a task, sometimes called a task type, in the business unit if it is needed for multiple projects throughout your business unit, and it doesn't exist in the business unit Tasks Library.

1. Confirm that the correct business unit is selected in the Business Unit field, and that no project is selected in the Project field.
2. Select Business Setup > Standards And Templates > Task Types.
3. Select the Add button .
4. (Required) In the Add Task Type window, in the Task Type Name field, enter a name for the task type.
5. (Required) In the Version field, enter a description of the version.
6. If the task type is to be used in a process, select the Process Task Type checkbox.
7. In the Workflow list, click the workflow to use with this task type. If no workflow is selected, you won't be able to use a workflow on tasks of this type.
   If you selected the Process Task Type checkbox, only process workflows are available in the list.
8. (Required) In the Task Group field, click the group to which this task type belongs.
   For Process tasks, this is usually Delivery.
9. (Required) In the Task Type Colour field, click Choose and select the color for this task type to display on the dashboard.
10. In the Validity Start Date field, click the date the task type is available for use.
    Because you cannot view or edit the task until the start date, we recommend that you use today's date to ensure that the task is available immediately.
11. Leave the Expiry Date field blank.
    Once the expiry date is reached, the task will no longer be available. We recommend not entering an expiration date because a task may be needed longer than originally expected.
12. Ensure the Active checkbox is selected to make the task available for use.
13. In the Visibility field, select the option that indicates which business units can use this task type. If you select Business Unit and Below, click to select the business unit.
14. In the Owned By Business Unit field, click to select the business unit that owns the task type.
15. In the Task Fields grid, select the Visible checkbox for each field that should be visible on the device for this task. Select the Required checkbox for each field that should be required.
