The checklist breaks work down into micro-actions you can tick off inside an entity record. Each item has a title, completed/not completed status, and customizable order. At the top, badges and a progress bar show how many actions are done out of the total (e.g. 3/7) — immediate feedback for anyone opening tasks, tickets, deals, or contact records without having to read the full description.
The checklist is suited to repeatable procedures and operational steps, not to replacing tasks or projects:
For structured work with owners, due dates, and reports use tasks; for quick sub-steps on the same record use the checklist.
Checklist tab or card on:
The counter on the tab (modal) or card title (full page) reflects updated progress.
Empty rows cannot be saved: complete the text of the current row before adding a new one.
Checklist changes require saving the record when the Save footer appears (modal).
Badge (done/total) and green bar at the top of the tab. Ideal in stand-ups or reviews: «ticket #4521 is at 4/6 steps». On deals and contacts it signals onboarding progress without opening notes or comments.
From the task Options menu: Convert to project — checklist items become tasks of the new project (structured work with owners and dates). From a project: Convert to task — project tasks become checklist items in a single container task.
Use conversion when steps stay «internal» to the record (checklist) vs when you need distinct assignees and due dates (project tasks).
When cloning a task, project, contact, ticket, or deal you can include the checklist in the copy (dedicated checkbox in the Clone modal). Useful for templates: a «New SaaS client» deal with a pre-set sales checklist.
Combine the checklist with Connections (client/deal context), Labels (classification), and Updates (change history) for complete CRM procedures.
