Task references in the task navigator
Task references allow you to place the same task in several project branches without copying it.
All the reference properties and the forum are inherited from the original task. It means that any message change/creation in reference or property change lead to the change in the original task. The only exception is the reference name which can differ from the original task name. There are two buttons for task reference creation on the task toolbar:
– Copy task as reference. Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+X
– Cut task and leave reference. Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C For details please refer
documentation.
Search tasks, messages and attachments in the address bar
You can search tasks, messages and attachments in the address bar now.
Simply enter text to find and Cerebro will look for it in all its data. Since the “smart search” is used there is no necessity for the full text match.
Spell checkers in posts
Spell check is available now when writing messages.
Inbox, favorites and filter by subscription
The “Followed Tasks” tab is renamed to “Inbox” which is more close to its meaning. Also now you can mark individual tasks as favorite to filter the inbox list by this criterion later.
Enable the “Show only my subscription” radio button to hide everything that is not interesting for you.
External insert, multi renaming and replication of tasks
External task insert means inserting of “outside” objects such as files or text strings from the clipboard or by dragging into the “Navigator” window. New tasks are created on the basis of these objects. To insert external objects from the clipboard select the objects and copy them to the clipboard, then switch to the “Navigator” window, find suitable location for new tasks in the task tree and click the
“Paste” button in the task toolbar. In the case of text insertion one or more tasks will be created in the Cerebro system depending on the text contents. The text must be in the CSV format to insert several tasks, it means that it contains a list of new task names separated by a line break. For example you can copy to clipboard one column from the Excel
spreadsheet and paste it in the “Navigator” window. After that Cerebro will prompt you to create new tasks named corresponding to the pasted text. In this way you can insert new tasks from other text documents such as Word, txt-files or a web page.
Insert tasks with files
On pasting several files Cerebro will prompt you to create new tasks on their basis.
Multi-rename tasks

“Multi-rename tasks” button (keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M). The same command is also presented in the context menu.
Replicate task
The replication feature allows you to create the required number of duplicates the selected task. Select a task to replicate and click the

documentation.
Active Tasks
The “Active Tasks” window contains a list of tasks for which you are planning to work during the day. You can add a task in this window by clicking the “Start work” button in the forum window.
The task will appear in the list and a corresponding timer will be started. The list may contain several tasks but only one of them is allowed to be active at a time. You can switch between tasks in the list during the day or pause your work. Each task time is stored and after the task completion click the
“Stop work and write report” button. After that the report creation window will arise with the time spent on the task specified. It is not mandatory to use this window for time management, you can just put your actual task there to have them always “at hand”.
