Checklists help you track the progress of tasks on your Visual Task Board.

Checklists are available as a tab in the card details.  
Figure 1. Sample checklist

You can add, remove, or rearrange checklist items. You can also save a checklist as a template
for future use on other cards. Any user can create or edit a checklist. When the compact card
view is disabled, the task card displays a progress bar to show how many items are complete.

You can also use checklists with task records in the standard interface. For more information,
see [Checklists](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/oxLlifnSgTI~qRVmVNT1ng "Checklists provide a simple way to track the progress of tasks without creating additional records. Checklists can be added to the form view of any table that extends Task [task].").
