You can create new tasks under Tasks tab in various documents and records using the following two methods:
- Create a task directly on a Task Grid
- Create a task on the fly from anywhere
Create New Tasks on Task Grids
- Add New Task
- Open the relevant document or record and select Tasks tab.
- Click on the 'Add New'
icon or right-click in an open area on the grid and select 'Add New' from the context menu that appears. - Create new tasks on the task grid.
INFO: When you are on a task grid in any document, record or team activity, you are able to capture a new task line directly onto the grid. Doing this will automatically fill in the relative 'Linked To' fields under the Details tab based on the current screen you are on.
For example, if you capture a task directly onto the grid found under the task tab on Customer Record (Woolworths Bellville), then the linked to customer field on task detail box will get auto-filled with Customer Record (Woolworths Bellville).
4. Notice that the linked customer field is auto-filled to the current customer record you are on.
Completing other linked fields on a task will make that task visible on those linked particular documents and records as well.
See Linking Tasks to Documents and Records for more information.
