Tutorial · Standalone tasks
Not everything is a repeatable process. A standalone task is a one-off to-do you create in seconds, assign to a person (or keep for yourself), give a due date and priority, and track in My Work, without building a whole flow.

New task
Click New task anywhere in My Work. Give it a title, optionally add context, assign it to someone (or leave it empty to keep it for yourself), and set a due date and priority. That's it, no template, no flow, no setup.
Only the title is required. Add the rest when it helps.
Walkthrough
From My Work, click New task. The dialog opens with the cursor in the title field.
Add an assignee to hand it off, or leave it empty and it stays on your own list.
Give it a deadline and a priority so it sorts into the right urgency group in everyone's queue.
The task appears in the assignee's My Work alongside their flow tasks, grouped by urgency (Overdue, This week).
Check it off when done. If you find yourself creating the same task over and over, Cadenio can suggest turning it into a reusable flow.
Reach for a standalone task when the work is genuinely one-off, a follow-up call, a quick review, a reminder. When the same task keeps coming back with the same steps, that's the signal to make it a flow so nothing gets forgotten.
A flow is a reusable process with defined steps, logic, and approvals. A standalone task is a single to-do with no steps or template, created on the spot. Both show up in My Work; the task just skips all the structure.
Yes. Add one or more assignees and it lands in their My Work. Leave assignees empty and the task stays on your own list.
In My Work, on the Tasks tab, alongside tasks from flows, grouped by urgency. A standalone task has no flow tag, so it is easy to spot.
Yes. When Cadenio notices you keep creating the same ad-hoc task, it can suggest promoting it into a reusable flow, so recurring work gets real structure and an audit trail.
