Tasks in Podio can be used for quick "to-do"s for you and your team members. A task can be created and assigned from any workspace, app, or app item. This gives you a quick and easy way to allocate specific action items to members of your team.
You can access your own tasks via the tasks icon in the top blue bar.

There are a couple of ways to create tasks in Podio:
- Hit 'T' on your keyboard from anywhere to create a task linked to the item/page that you're looking at.

- You can create a task via email - hit the "Create a task from email" link on the right side of your tasks page.
- You can give a task to someone on Podio by going to their profile page and adding it from there.
