Tasks

The Tasks module allows you to record, assign, and track action items and to-do items. Tasks can be related to other records so that outstanding actions are visible from the relevant Account, Contact, Opportunity, or Case.

Key Fields

  • Subject: the name or description of the task. Required.

  • Status: where the task stands: Not Started, In Progress, Completed, Pending Input, or Deferred.

  • Priority: the urgency of the task: High, Medium, or Low.

  • Due Date: when the task needs to be completed by.

  • Start Date: when work on the task is expected to begin.

  • Related To: links the task to a parent record (Account, Contact, Opportunity, Case, etc.) using a relate field. The task appears in the Activities tile on that record while open, and moves to the History tile once closed.

  • Contact: links the task to a specific Contact record.
