Add a task template in QuickBooks Practice Manager

Task templates can be set up for any jobs that need to be done more than once or repeatedly, whether it's the same tasks for different clients that you're onboarding or regular tasks like bookkeeping every week or every month.

You can choose which template to use when adding a new task. It can also be used for recurring tasks. We'll show you how to make a new template and how to import an existing one into Practice Manager. Plus, how to clone edit and delete task templates.

Only workspace admins can add and edit task templates.

Step 1: Add a new template

1. Go to Settings, and select Task templates. 
2. Select + Add template. Or, if you want to use an existing template, select Import template.
3. Give the task template a name and description. 
4. Assign a team member to the template. 
5. Choose when you’d like to start the task.
6. If you’d like the set this task to recur, select the frequency. If you select On client date field, you can choose any custom client field that is in date format.
7. Select the task deadline. 
8. If needed, select the task labels.
9. Select Next.

Step 2: Add subtasks

The next step is to add subtasks to the temple. Here’s a step-by-step guide for setting up subtasks. 

Remember to select Save subtask, and then Save template when you’re done. Once you've made the task template, you'll get a preview of it and can edit it, make a task, or schedule recurring tasks.
