Use Task Quick Add in List

“Oops, I forgot to assign the task.” “I didn’t know it was due today.” Sound familiar? With Quick Add, you can set all the details before adding an item—so no one has an excuse to miss it!

With Quick Add, you can now see and set important details—like due dates, assignees, and notes—right from the start, without having to edit the item afterward.

Why We Introduced Quick Add

Many users didn’t realize that they could add extra details—like assigning a task to a family member or setting a due date—because these options were previously hidden in the edit view.

With Quick Add, these options are now visible during the add/create process, making it easier to customize items without extra steps!

How to Open Quick Add

You can access Quick Add in two ways:

• Tap the Floating Action Button (FAB) – The "+" button at the bottom right corner.
• Tap the "Add an item" input field – Located at the top of the list.

Once opened, you can immediately start typing to add an item.

How Quick Add Works

1️⃣ Start typing in the input field.

2️⃣ Smart suggestions appear, based on:

• Popular items – Frequently added items from our database.
• Your list history – Previously added and completed items.

3️⃣ You have 2 ways to add an item:

• Use a suggestion:
  • Tap the suggestion’s name → The item is instantly added to your list.
  • Tap the clipboard  icon → The details of the suggested item (name, category, due date, assignees, etc.) are pre-filled in Quick Add, allowing you to edit before pressing the send (⬆️) button to confirm.

• Manually enter an item:
  • Type freely to add a custom item.
  • Use the action bar (icons below the input field) to set a due date, assign a task, or add a note.
  • Press the send icon (⬆️) to add it to the list.

Info: You don’t have to use a suggestion—you can always enter a completely new item and customize it as needed!
