How to Create and Manage Objects in Attio: Step-by-Step Guide
Begin by navigating to the Collection where you'd like to add a new item. This could be any of your existing categories such as Tasks, Emails, or Deals. Selecting the right Collection ensures your new entry is organized properly.
For this example, we’ll focus on the Tasks Collection. Click on it to open and view all the tasks currently in your workspace.
Next, look for the button labeled New Task. Clicking this will open the form where you can begin creating a fresh task entry.
Now it’s time to fill in the details for your new task. For instance, if you want to update your customer list, enter the relevant information in the fields provided to clearly describe the task at hand.
After describing your task, you’ll want to set a deadline. Click on the area highlighted here to open the date picker and specify when this task should be completed.
The calendar will appear, allowing you to select any date that fits your schedule. Choose the appropriate date to keep your team on track.
Once your task details and deadline are set, assign responsibility by clicking on the assign button shown here. This helps ensure someone is accountable for completing the task.
You can then search through your team members easily to find the right person to assign this task to. Select the user who will be responsible.
To connect this task with relevant data, click on the option to add a record. This could be anything related like a contact, company, or deal that the task is about.
You’ll be able to search or browse through existing records. Choose the one that best matches your task to maintain clear connections within your database.
When everything looks good, finalize your entry by clicking the Save button. This will add your new task officially to the Collection.
Congratulations, your new task has been successfully created in Attio. You can now view and manage it alongside your other objects.
To help manage your tasks, use filters to narrow down the list. You can filter by Assignee, linked record, or who created the task to quickly find what you need.
You can also organize your tasks by sorting them based on different criteria like Due date or Creation date. This helps you prioritize and access tasks in an efficient way.
If a task is no longer needed, you can remove it by clicking the more actions button next to the task. This opens additional options for managing your entries.
From the action menu, choose Delete to start the process of removing this task from your Collection.
To avoid accidental deletions, you will be asked to confirm your choice. Click Delete once more to permanently remove the task.
And just like that, you’ve created a new Supademo quickly and efficiently, ready to help you manage your work better.
