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:

Overdue tasks are highlighted with a badge.
