Overview

All users except collaborators can create tasks from blueprints.

You can quickly create an active task from within a blueprint and immediately notify its assignees so that they can start working on it. Task blueprints can be edited the same way you would edit a normal task.

Note

There's a limit of 4000 items created from blueprints and/or duplicated per every 7 days. Every time you create an item from a blueprint or duplicate an item, Wrike checks if the limit has been reached in the previous 7 days. If the limit is reached, you won't be able to create new items from blueprints or via duplication. You can try again in the following days, e.g., if you created 4000 items on a Tuesday, you can create more items only next Tuesday.

Create a task from a blueprint

There are three ways to create a task from a blueprint:

  3. From the pop-up, (optional) change the name of the task that will be created 2.

  4. Add a name prefix (optional) 3. This will be added as a prefix to the name of all work items created.

  5. Select a new location 4. Specify the project, folder, or space where your new task should be located. If you don’t pick a new location, your task will be placed in your Personal space.

  6. Specify whether or not you want to send Inbox notifications to assignees upon creation 5.

  7. Specify whether or not you want to reschedule all subtasks and set new start and end dates 6. All subtasks will be rescheduled respectively.
