# Creating Action Items
The Action Items hub allows you to define the hierarchy of your project. Whether you are setting a high-level Epic or a specific technical Task, the process is streamlined to ensure all mandatory data is captured.
**Creating Different Item Types**
* Click **'Add Item'** and select the specific item type from the dropdown menu (Epic, Feature, User Story, Defect, or Task).
{% hint style="info" %}
You can also import or create Epics, Features, or User Stories directly from the [Intelligence Hub.](/core-features/intelligence-hub/generate-user-stories.md)
{% endhint %}
* Fill in all required fields in the pop-up form:
* **Title & Type:** Enter a clear, descriptive name and confirm the correct classification to ensure proper organization within the project hierarchy.
* **Status & Priority:** Select the current progress stage (To Do, In Progress, Done) and define the urgency level (High, Medium, Low) to support workflow tracking and sprint prioritization.
* **Assignee:** Choose the specific team member responsible for completing the item, ensuring clear ownership and accountability.
* **Story Points:** Provide the effort estimation to support sprint planning and capacity management.
* **Description:** Add detailed information explaining the objective, scope, or issue for complete clarity.
* **Acceptance Criteria:** For User Stories define the specific conditions that must be met for the story to be considered complete.
* **Test Case:** For defects link the associated test case from which the defect was identified to maintain validation traceability.
* **Attachments:** Upload supporting documents, screenshots, or design files for full context.
* Click **'Save'** to create the action item.
Once saved, the Action Item will appear in the directory. If a **Task or Defect** is assigned to a team member, it will automatically reflect on their [Workboard](/overview-and-tracking/workboard.md), providing real-time visibility into workload and progress tracking.

## 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.walnutai.ai/overview-and-tracking/action-item/creating-action-items.md?ask=&goal=
```
`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.
