Creating Subtasks:
We received plenty of feedback from customers asking for us to add subtasks in Copper, so subtasks are now available in the Corporate and Enterprise versions.
For the uninitiated, subtasks allow you to create a task hierarchy inside your project, so that you can roll up sets of tasks under a single task. For example. The task "Making Coffee" would include subtasks "Boiling the Kettle" "Adding Water" etc etc.
To create a sub-task in Copper, open your Project and click on the ‘Timeline’ tab. You might want to create new subtasks, drag other tasks up/down into place, or your existing tasks might be already set for creating a hierarchy.
Select the task or tasks that you wish to make subtasks, then click the Right Indent Arrow at top of screen, and those selected tasks will be made subordinates of the task directly above. That's it! To make changes to the task, click on the Task from the Project tab and Edit the task just as you would any other task.
Now that you can create subtasks in our Gantt Chart view, why would you need to use any other project management software? |

Is there a way so that as each sub-task gets updated that it's master task's progress bar is automatically affected? (similar to the way that each task's completion percentage affects the project's status of completion.) This would avoid someone from having to update the subtasks as well as the overall task.

@markb: You need to click the indent button to move it into a subtask area
@Dweller: No, Copper won't do that. As discussed in another thread theres no neat way to handle the resestablishment of a subtask as a task. |
