Task types

Relay supports different types of task for different purposes and collaboration needs. There are eight standard task types.

Task	The basic task type, ideal for personal task management. Task can be shared, but not delegated. If managing work for other, can record who is working on the task.
Collaboration - full	Provides a formal process for task delegation and execution. Requires partner to accept or decline the task. Partner indicates when work starts and formally submits the response. Supports text and file responses.
Collaboration - simple	Enables task delegation with simplified response. Supports text and file responses. Simplified accept, start and submission.
Send	Enables task delegation, but requires acknowledgement rather than a text and file response. Acknowledge receipt, optionally with confirmation and name/job position entry. Simplified accept, start and submission process.
Group chat	Enables shared chat conversations between multiple parties.
Share	Enables sharing of text and/or files between multiple parties. Optional shared updating of text and files.
Outline	For grouping tasks in a plan, without creating a group-level task that has to be executed.
Notes	For adding notes to a plan, without creating a task that has to be executed.

If you are not sure, use the Task task type to start. You can Change task type later.

If you want to delegate tasks to people, Collaboration - simple is usually the best option. It is worth reading Collaboration - full to understand how the delegation process works.
