1. Navigate to the project's Tasks tool.

2. Click Configure Settings.

3. Configure the following settings:

   • Task Items Private by Default:

     • Mark this checkbox to make task items 'Private' by default.

   • Default Due Date for Task items:

     • Enter the desired default number of days in which a new task item will be due.
       Note: The due date respects which days are set as 'working days' for the project.
       See Set Project Working Days.

   • Default Distribution List:

     • Users added to this field will be automatically added to the distribution list for all new Tasks created after their addition to the list.

   • Tasks Emails:

        Note

       • Task Created event emails are not sent immediately upon task creation. These emails are delivered after clicking 'Send Mine/All' from the banner at the top of the page.

       • All other event emails are sent automatically. However, they depend on the 'Task Created' email being sent first. If the 'Task Created' email hasn’t been sent, notifications for all other events will not be delivered, even if they are enabled.
