Question

How to add subtask in microsoft project management software 2017?

Answer 1

Import subtasks from MS projects

Import subtasks along with your existing tasks, while you import your MS project files into Zoho Projects.

Select the required project in Projects and click the Tasks module.

Click  in the upper-right corner and select Import Task.

Select the File Type and Choose a file that you want to upload.  

Click Import to import the file to your project.

Choose to leave the imported tasks unassigned or associate the Mpp users to Project users in Import Microsoft Project Plan(MPP / MPX).

Click Continue to import the tasks into Zoho Projects.

Create subtasks

Select the Tasks module, click the task for which you want to add the subtask.

Click Subtasks in the task details page and then click Add Subtask.

Enter the name of the subtask and click Enter to add the subtask.

You can also drag and drop tasks to create subtasks. And, the dragged task is now added as a subtask beneath the task it is dropped.

Few points to remember when you create subtasks in Zoho Projects:

Closed tasks cannot be indented.

Subtasks cannot be created for closed tasks.

Few tasks other than the applied criteria may also be displayed, so as not to break the hierarchy.

Closing a parent task will close all its subtasks.

To reopen a subtask, the parent task needs to be reopened.

Reorder subtasks

You can reorder subtasks from the Task Classic View. Drag and drop a subtask within the same parent task to reorder it. Drag and drop the subtask on another task to change its parent task.

Make a subtask into a task

Drag and drop a subtask outside its parent task. The subtask is converted to a parent task.

Collapse Subtasks

Subtasks can be collapsed with a single click.

Navigate to Portal > Home > My Tasks > View More.

Click on  and then toggle the Collapse Subtasks option. Subtasks will collapse across the portal.

Toggle the switch again to expand the subtasks across the portal.
