Quick create
Create a task, project, sermon, or purchase request from anywhere with a single keystroke.
Cadence has a universal quick-create box you can open from any screen — no need to navigate to the right page first. Press one key, fill in a couple of fields, and you're back to what you were doing.

Open quick create
Press a shortcut key anywhere in the app and the create box opens, focused and ready to type. The shortcuts are ignored while you're typing in a text field, so they never get in your way.
Keyboard shortcuts
Each key opens quick create straight to that kind of thing:
| Key | Creates |
|---|---|
t | Task |
p | Project |
s | Sermon |
r | Purchase request |
These are distinct from search — press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) to find things, and t / p / s /
r to create them.
Switch what you're creating
The create box has a row of tabs across the top — Task, Project, Sermon, Purchase request. Opening with a shortcut just preselects the matching tab; you can click another tab to switch without closing the box.
t (or any create shortcut) to open the box.Creating a task here can also make it recurring — see Recurring tasks.
