How to create, assign, and complete tasks for your team.
Tasks let you and your team track actions that need to be completed — for example, following up with a donor, preparing a grant report, or updating a contact record.
Viewing tasks
Click Tasks in the sidebar to open the task list.
Tasks are grouped by status using tabs:
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every task regardless of status |
| Open | Tasks not yet started |
| In Progress | Tasks actively being worked on |
| Completed | Finished tasks |
| Cancelled | Cancelled tasks |
Overdue tasks are highlighted with a badge.
