[Insightly Classic] How to add a milestone and related tasks

Insightly Classic is the old version of Insightly. It's not available to new accounts. Users on Insightly Classic can switch over to the latest version.

Use milestones on their own to track important project dates, and combine them with tasks to group and organize project-related tasks. Milestones are only available for project records.

You can apply a Pipeline or milestones to a project, but not both. If you don't see the Milestones subtab, it's because the project is using a Pipeline. See Using projects in Insightly.

To add a new milestone:

  1. Open a project and click the Milestones subtab.

  4. Click the Save Milestone button.

Milestones will appear in the project's Milestone subtab, ordered by date. You can edit or delete a milestone by clicking either of the icons on its right.
