#### **Adding a Task from your Task Library to a Work Order**

Now, once a new Work Order is submitted and/or assigned, you and other internal users that are associated with the work order may add one or multiple tasks from the Task Library to a work order!

- You can either find the work order on your Dashboard, expand it, switch to the Task tab and click "Add Task from Library" **OR** locate it on the Calendar and click into it then switch to the Task tab and then click "Add Task from Library".  
    - You can *also* choose to add/create a completely new task for the work order you are editing by clicking "Add New Task".

- On the Task tab, after you click "Add Task From library" pick any tasks that you want to add and click “**Add to Work Order**”.
