Each sub-task consists of instructions for the task assignee to complete, and can be pre-configured to be assigned to a specific type of role. When a task list is assigned, the parent task is assigned in addition to each of the sub-tasks. It is possible to configure which role each sub-task (and the parent task) should be assigned to. If you do not configure which role to assign the sub-task to, this will be done by the task assigner when the task is assigned. A 'task list' template has the following options: * **Name.** The name of the task list that is visible to users of this task. * **Short description.** A short description for the task list that is displayed to help users identify this task list * **Description.** Full description of what the purpose of this task list is. This is a rich text editor and you can embed links and images if needed. * **Task Type.** Can be: * **Single Task.** A single task with a single set of instructions, assigned to a single role (or list of persons). * **Task List.** A list of tasks, each of which can be assigned to a different role. * **Schedule type.** How often this type of task should be performed. If you choose a recurring task, AppControl will schedule the task automatically when you assign it and will create new instances of the task as needed (E.g. For 'Monthly' tasks, AppControl will create a new task every month when it is assigned). * **Created by.** Who created this task. (read only) * **Configure assignment type.** If selected, you can pre-configure the assignment type of the parent task and each of the sub-tasks. Note: This prevents the task assigner from selecting which role to assign this task list to. This is convenient when you know which roles are responsible for each of the sub-tasks. * **Assignment type.** Which role that the parent task of the task list will be assigned to. When using a task list you must add at least one sub-task. The options for a sub-task are the same as the basic options for the parent task: Name, Short Description, Description. Additionally, if you have selected 'Configure assignment type', you must select the assignment type for each sub-task (= which role the sub-task will be assigned to). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.bluestorm.io/administration/tasks/task-list.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
