## How to create work packages?
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to create new work packages:
|
|
|
|
- work packages can be [created in-line in the work package list](#create-a-work-package-in-the-list-view) (just like Excel) to quickly create multiple work packages.
|
|
- work packages can be [created in a split screen](#create-a work-package-in-the-split-screen-view) which allows you to specify detailed information from the start.
|
|
|
|
Work packages always belong to a project. Therefore, you first need to [select a project](../../../getting-started/#open-an-existing-project).
|
|
|
|
Then, navigate to the work package module in the project navigation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Create a work package in the list view
|
|
|
|
To create new work packages directly in line in the list view, click on the **+ Create new work package** link below the list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new work package appears in a green row. Type in the subject of the work package, change attributes, such as Type or Status directly in the list and hit Enter to save the changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This way, you can quickly and easily create new work packages in the list, just like Excel.
|
|
|
|
### Create a work package in the split screen view
|
|
|
|
In order to enter detailed information to the work package from the start, you can create a work package in the split screen view. In the work package module, click the green **+ Work package** button and select the type of work package you want to create.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new work package form will open in the split screen view. Enter all information, such as description, assignee, status, priority, due date and more.
|
|
|
|
Click the green **Save** button.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How to add attachments to a work package?
|
|
|
|
You can directly add images, e.g. via copy and paste to the **work package description**. You can also use the toolbar above the work package description and click the Insert image icon:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, at the bottom of the work package form you can add files via drag and drop or select the file from a folder to upload it to the work package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Find out how to [edit existing work packages](#edit-work-packages).
