Now you can directly create tasks from the Resource Availability grid itself. There is no need to go to task list or Kanban view to Create Tasks. Here is how-

-   Hover on **Resource Management from the left main menu** and click on **Resource Availability**. Resource availability will be available for owner and admin by default. However, you can provide access to the users using User role management feature
-   Click on Available slots denoted by Green color. Green color in Resource Availability indicates that resource is available and you can assign task to the resource.
-   Upon clicking on Green slots, you will find 2 options- **Create Task & Submit Leave**.
-   If you want to assign task, then you can click on Create task. Or, if you would like to add leave, then click on **Submit leave**. I would like to assign Richard a task for 2 days. So I would click on **Create task** on 5th October**.

-   Upon clicking, Richard is selected as assignee in Create task pop-up and the start date 5th October is auto selected as well. Update important task info such as task title, estimated hours, priority etc. and save it.
