Task Maintenance

Task creating by gestures

Roadmap for macOS makes task creation straightforward. You can efficiently create tasks (and sections/rows together) using intuitive gestures.

Create a new task only.

⇧ + Mouse Horizontally Moving ("Shift” key + "Mouse” moving horizontally) to create a new TASK.
⇧ + Mouse Vertically Moving ("Shift” key + "Mouse” moving horizontally) to create a new MILESTONE.

Create a new task AND a new Section or a new Row together

Creating a new task at the position a little below a section will also create a new row at the bottom of the section.
Creating a new task a little far from the last section will also create a new section.

Roadmap for macOS supports copying tasks with mouse gestures.

⌥ + Mouse Moving ("Option” key + "Mouse moving”) to copy task.
It also supports creating a section or a row simultaneously when copying to create a new task.

"Splitting Task" may be the more intuitive and efficient approach to create new tasks.

We strongly recommend trying the approach below to create a roadmap in just minutes.

⌥ + Mouse-Clicking ("Option” keys + "Mouse-clicking”) to split the task and combine tasks (if possible).
"Delete” Key to remove the selected task.

The title of Sections, Rows, and Tasks

Double-click on a section, on a row, or on a task to edit the title directly

The Properties of Sections and Tasks

Maintain the properties on the updating panel

In addition to task fields with predefined purposes (such as title, notes, date, owner, and cost), there are extra fields without predefined meanings, including six single-line text fields, two multi-line text fields, and three URL fields.
Click the setting button at the top of updating panel to customize the visibility and title of the task fields.

Move Section / Row by gestures.

⌘ + Mouse-Moving ("Command” key + "Mouse Moving”) to move selected Section/Row Up or Down.

Context Menus

Right-click on a Section, a Row, and a Task to display the related context menu.
