In my task-management application tasks are grouped inside "processes". I just added support for tasks not related to any specific process and trying to come up with a right name for them.

What would be the best way to refer to such tasks in help and user documentation?

  1. Standalone tasks
  2. Independent tasks
  3. Ad-hoc tasks

Or maybe some other word?

    I'd go with "standalone" - "ad hoc" means "made up as you go along" or "unplanned" which isn't quite right here I think.

Standalone (alternate spelling variant of stand-alone) — M-W

self-contained; especially : operating or capable of operating independently of a computer system
"a stand–alone word processor"

A lot of dictionaries show examples in computing. Independant, works too.
