# Project task checklist items

# Project task checklist items {#ariaid-title1}

Track the activities that must be completed on a task using the project task checklist items.

For a project task to be considered complete, you can track activities that do not require separate sub tasks. For example, you have a human resources-related project that includes a task for interviewing candidates. You can also track
booking a meeting room or getting an interview confirmation from the candidate. Create a checklist item for each and mark when they have been completed.

Checklist items don't have start or end dates, nor do they track effort or cost. By default, a checklist item record provides only a name with a check box, which can be selected or unselected. The state of the project task is
independent of the state of the checklist items.

Checklists and tasks are copied into a project template. You also have access to all checklist templates from any project task form.
