Other Ways to edit a Task

You can also edit your Task by clicking the in the top right of the panel you are on. This will bring up a window where you can make edits to all of the fields contained within that panel on your Template. This is particularly useful if you are using Custom Layouts on your Templates.

If you wish to easily make changes to a specific field, you can do so with single field editing. Simply hover over where you can input information for the field. Clicking on the gray box that appears will result in a window where you can make edits to that specific field. This can be especially helpful if you are trying to update a specific Field rather than scrolling through a list of available fields on the Template.
