The following instructions describe how to create task sets and apply them to your courses so you don't need to create them individually each time.
- Open the Settings menu.
- Select Task sets.
- A list of existing task sets will be displayed.

- Select the task set you wish to add a task to
- Press Add task template.

Course manager will assign it to the course manager nominated on the course, if there is one.
Administrator allows you to select a specific administrator to assign the task to for all courses this task template applies to.
Arlo will not change the assignee if the course manager is changed after this task has been created.

Now that you've set up a task set, learn how to apply task sets to your courses.
Applying a task set to a template adds the tasks automatically to any courses on that template that are created in the future. Doing this will not add any tasks to courses that have already been created. Learn how to apply a task set to a course that already exists.
- Create or edit your course template.
- In the General step, go to the Default task set section.
- Click Add.
- Start typing to search for the task set, then select it.
If you're not sure of the name, press the space bar twice to show the whole list.
- Press Save and close.
- Open the course.
- From the toolbar, press Task and select Apply task set.
- Select the task set to apply to this course.
- Press Apply task set.
- Add any other task sets required.
