Tasks help you track and manage specific actions that need to be completed during an investigation or incident response. Each Task can be assigned to a user, prioritized, given a due date, and linked to relevant records such as Cases, Alerts, Observables, and Attachments. Using Tasks ensures accountability, streamlines collaboration, and keeps your case progress organized and actionable from start to finish. *** ## Create a New Task You can create Tasks directly within a Case or from the main 'Tasks' tab, and optionally configure them to block case closure until they are completed.

Navigate to the 'Tasks' tab, by clicking on the downward arrow icon and selecting the 'Tasks' option.

Create a **New Task** by selecting the **New Task** button in the top-right corner. Once completed, select the **Add Task** button in the bottom-right corner.
