|
|
|
- (Optional) `{{index}}` adds an index to the file in the set (starting from 0).
|
|
|
- (Optional) `{{file_name}}` adds the file's name to the task's name.
|
|
|
> **Note:** use hyphen between three parameters: `Word1_word2_word3-{{index}}-{{file_name}}`
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. (Optional) From the **Projects** drop-down, select a project for the tasks.

|
|
|
|

|
|
