# How to create a task

> Learn how to create a task in ServiceM8.

ServiceM8 13, launched in September 2024, introduced some major improvements to Checklists and Tasks. It’s easier than ever to create a Checklist — you can assign Checklist tasks to staff members, attach specific Forms & Assets, set a reminder for a task, complete checklists online, create multiple checklists, and drag-and-drop to reorder.

With ServiceM8 13, “Tasks” have been merged into the new & improved “Checklists” — the separate Tasks Add-on is deprecated, meaning it is not available for new accounts, and is not available for existing accounts upgraded to ServiceM8 13 and beyond.
