# Tasks > Everything a task can hold. Notes, sub-tasks, a day and time, a deadline, a length, priority P1 to P3, tags and a repeat, all saved as you type. Source: https://todocity.app/docs/tasks Click a task and it opens right where it is, showing everything it can hold. Whatever you change is saved as you go, so there's no Save button to look for. ![A task opened in place: its title, notes, a link, a sub-task field, and chips for its project, day and time](https://todocity.app/docs/img/task-open.webp "A task, opened in place.") ## What's in a task | Part | What it's for | How to set it | | --- | --- | --- | | Title | What to do | Click the title, or press E | | Notes | Links, details, anything you'll want later. Links open in one click | **Notes**, or press N | | Sub-tasks | Steps to tick off one at a time | **Add a sub-task**, or press C | | Project and section | Where it belongs | The project chip, or press P | | Day and time | When you plan to do it | The date chip and **Time**, or press D | | Length | How long it takes | **Length** | | Deadline | The day it has to be done by | The deadline icon | | Priority | P1, P2 or P3 | The flag icon | | Repeat | When it comes back | The repeat icon. See [Repeats](https://todocity.app/docs/repeats) | | Tags | Words for grouping and finding tasks | The tag icon, or `#tags` in the title | ## Day and time The date chip gives you **Today**, **Tomorrow**, **Someday** and **No date**, plus a calendar. For the full date and time editor, press D. It adds **This evening** and **Next week**, along with a time, a deadline and a repeat. You can also just type the date, like “fri 3pm”, “tomorrow evening” or “every monday”. See [Dates and times](https://todocity.app/docs/dates-and-times). Times can be any minute you like, such as 9:07. ## Sub-tasks Sub-tasks are a checklist inside the task. In full screen, they show right under it, so you can tick them off without opening anything. If you paste or type a few lines as a list (`- milk`, `- eggs`), each line becomes a sub-task. Capturing a bulleted list works the same way. To show or hide notes and sub-tasks under every task, use **Settings → Appearance → Show notes under tasks**. ## Deadline A **deadline** is the day a task has to be done by, which isn't always the day you plan to do it. If a task is planned for next week but due on Friday, it shows up in Today on Friday. The task gets a chip like **Due Fri**, which changes to **Due today** when the day arrives. To clear a deadline, open it and click **Remove deadline**. On a repeating task, a deadline ends the series on that day. ## Length Use the **Length** chip to pick a quick length, or type any number of minutes, like `7`, `45` or `1h30`. A task can last anywhere from 1 minute to a whole day, and [Calendar](https://todocity.app/docs/calendar) draws each one at its real start time and length. ## Priority | Priority | Name | | --- | --- | | P1 | Urgent | | P2 | High | | P3 | Medium | Click the flag, or type `p1`, `p2` or `p3` when you add a new task. ## Tags Type a tag and press Return, or write `#tags` in the title. Your tags are listed in the sidebar, and clicking one shows only its tasks. You can also search for something like `#home`. See [Search](https://todocity.app/docs/search). ## More The **⋯** button on an open task has everything else: - **Open in Slack**, **Open in Mail** and so on take a captured task back to where it came from. - **Send to agent…** hands the task over to an AI agent. See [The agent panel](https://todocity.app/docs/agents/panel). - **Snooze** offers 15 min, 1 hour, Tonight, Tomorrow or Next week. - **Move to Someday** - **Duplicate** - **Delete** ⌘Z undoes your last change, even a delete. ## Saving Your edits are saved half a second after you stop typing, and again when you click away or close the task. Click **Done** to close it. ## Select several ⌘-click or ⇧-click to select several tasks at once (or ⌘A to select them all), then complete, move or delete them together.
