# Creating a Task

Tasks are used to share information with your team members. You need to have access to a shared task repository (Snow Owl server) to create and work with tasks.

To invoke the task wizard, click the ![](/files/-M568DMnSt1jMYe1mmiN) **Create new Task** button in the **Task List View**. On the first page of the wizard, you are prompted to specify the following properties.

* **Description**: optionally a description can be specified which will appear in the Comments section of the task editor, fixed as the first entry.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.b2ihealthcare.com/snow-owl-authoring-platform/collaborative-authoring/authoring/creating-a-task.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
