You can assign tasks to your employees that prompts your employees to take action.
You can also have the to-do as part of a campagin or trigger additional content once a task
is completed. To-dos can also be sent via email.

### Before you begin

Role required: sn_cd.campaign_manager

### About this task

For example, an Open Enrollment for Benefits campaign can have tasks that appear as
to-dos. These tasks prompt employees to sign up for health care.

### Procedure

1. Navigate to Content PublishingContent Library.
2. Select New or existing content.
3. Select To-do under the Select the Platform column.
4. Select Button Complete, E-Signature, Play Video, or View Link.
5. Fill in the form.  
   For more information on each field, see [To-do content form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/nth9lsuQ8SxTu8hPsdt2rg "Use the To-do content form to add to-dos to your portal page.").
6. Select Submit or Save.  
   The Schedule Content related list appears. For more information on scheduling your content, see [Scheduling the delivery of content](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OZoJNUOyMTiNe2HlFlBsaA "After you create content in Content Publishing, use Schedule Content to post to your Employee Center, in a campaign, To-dos, email notifications, and community.").

   If you want your
   to-do content to be a link you can add to a banner or styled content, see
   [Add or modify links to other content sources](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/H42NHKLmaE_yEykTlhO8Sw "Use link content to create URL or video links. You can use these links on the Employee Center, in a campaign, or in Communities (when Communities is installed).").

   To request your content to be translated into a
   different language, select the Translate content
   button at the top. This button only appears when the
   sn_cd.enable_localization_framework_integration system property is
   activated. For more information, see [Properties installed with Content Publishing](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/qFfoQfp416ZlOfnXWG6CcQ "The Content Publishing [com.sn_content_delivery] plugin adds the following properties that are designed to control how scheduled jobs work in relation to notifications, to-dos, and communities.").

## Creating to-do content {#ariaid-title3}

Use Content Publishing to create links between a banner or styled
content items and to-dos content items.  
The two ways of delivering to-do links are:

* Scheduled Content (Content Publishing)
* Campaigns (Content Experiences)
{#ecpro-content-to-dos__ul_k45_cn2_hqb}

Create to-do links for your banner or styled content items to make it easier to access.
Placing to-do links in a banner or styled content makes it highly visible for high priority
to-do tasks.

### Process for Content Publishing {#ecpro-content-to-dos__section_rzj_ldq_ppb}

To create to-do links for a banner or styled content, do the following:

* Create to-do content: For more information, see [Create to-do content](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/fKp6oMVSqlBEUqohfBEJzw#ecpro-manage-content-to-do "You can assign tasks to your employees that prompts your employees to take action. You can also have the to-do as part of a campagin or trigger additional content once a task is completed. To-dos can also be sent via email.").
* Create link content referencing your to-do content: For details, see [Add or modify links to other content sources](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/H42NHKLmaE_yEykTlhO8Sw "Use link content to create URL or video links. You can use these links on the Employee Center, in a campaign, or in Communities (when Communities is installed).")  
  Note:  
  Select To-do in the Type field. And, select the to-do content you created previously from the To-do content list..
* Create portal content that references your link content.
* Schedule your content using Content Publishing.
  * Schedule the portal content (banner or styled content).  
    Note:  
    Your to-do content automatically schedules when you schedule your portal content (banner or styled content).
  * The to-do scheduled content appears in the To-do scheduled content field after you select Save. Your to-do content also aligns with the schedule of your portal content.
  * The to-do content is automatically scheduled separately when the link content is scheduled.
  * For more information, see [Scheduling the delivery of content](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/OZoJNUOyMTiNe2HlFlBsaA "After you create content in Content Publishing, use Schedule Content to post to your Employee Center, in a campaign, To-dos, email notifications, and community.").
  * The Content Publishing: Create To-dos scheduled job must run before the content becomes available.

### Process for Content Experiences (campaigns) {#ecpro-content-to-dos__section_lyr_wdq_ppb}

To create to-do links for a banner or styled content within a campaign, you must first have a campaign with stages and content. For more information, see [Creating campaigns with Content Experiences](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/UIgual3XKkMkhkD9gPr~EQ "Campaigns offer a powerful content publishing tool that provides organizations with the ability to efficiently deliver targeted information to their employees. As a content manager, you can configure multiple channels to ensure content reaches the intended audience at the optimal time."). Use the same steps in Content Publishing, but instead of scheduling your content, add it to a campaign stage.

* Create to-do content.
* Create link content referencing your to-do link content.
* Create portal content that references your link content.
* Add your portal content to a stage/bundle as an activity in your campaign.
  * You can use the legacy lists and forms or the campaign builder UI to add your portal content.
  * For more information, see [Create a campaign](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/N5hy3KsCZuDBBtmHAgBqEA "Create a campaign to push communications and important information to your employees.").
  {#ecpro-content-to-dos__ul_bct_3zh_rpb}
* If you use the campaign builder UI, you will see the banner and link content.

* Use Portal preview to view your content. For details, see [Campaign preview](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yM_XCKI7YDRg1ZVxD~mZIw "When creating a campaign, you can preview the content prior to publishing it.").
* After verifying your content, publish it.  
  Note:  
  You cannot delete the link content without deleting the banner (parent) content. You also cannot move the link content to another stage (bundle) without moving the banner (parent) content.
