# Tasks

Every labeling project is broken down into [assets](https://docs.imerit.net/core-concepts/assets), then individual tasks.

### Creating Tasks <a href="#creating-and-deleting-tasks" id="creating-and-deleting-tasks"></a>

Tasks are created automatically when assets are added.

Ango Hub creates one labeling task for each asset.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When an asset is deleted, the tasks assigned to the asset are deleted as well. Importing the asset again will not restore the tasks that have been deleted this way.
{% endhint %}

Tasks are shown in the *Tasks* tab.

**Task ID**. Unique identifier associated with each task.

**External ID**. Non-unique identifier for each asset. If importing assets with [drag and drop](https://docs.imerit.net/data/importing-assets#browser-import), this ID will be equal to the filename of each asset. If uploading using [a JSON](https://docs.imerit.net/data/importing-assets#cloud-import) or [the SDK](https://docs.imerit.net/sdk/sdk-documentation), you will determine this ID on import.

**Stage**. Stage where the task is currently located and waiting.

**Assignee**. User currently assigned to annotate the task.

**Updated At**. Time and date when the task was last updated (e.g. submitted.)

**Duration**. Total duration of the task. See the [page on idle detection for more details](https://docs.imerit.net/core-concepts/idle-time-detection-and-time-tracking).

**Consensus**. As follows:

**Last review**. Result of the last review the task went through.
