How do I create a task category?

Creating a task category is a breeze with DrChrono's task system. This functionality allows greater customization and control when assigning tasks throughout the office. These categories organize an individual's task inbox for easier visibility of what needs to be done.

1. Please access the task center (Task_Center_3_Lines.png).
