Task Types are use to distinguish
between various categories (or types) of tasks. Using task types helps
you sort and filter your tasks, as well as allowing you to track the progress
(or status) of your tasks based on type.

Setting up Task Types #

Go to Maintenance > Task > Task
Types. Use the tools on the ribbon to add or delete a task type,
rearrange the order of the types, and print or export the task types list.

.

• Description
  – Enter the name of the task type you are creating.

• Inactive
  – Mark a type as “inactive” if you no longer use it, but
  have used it in the past.

For each task type you can also set up various triggers to automatically
send emails and SMS text messages, print letters, generate phone calls,
or create additional tasks based on the task start date, due date, or
complete date. See also: Triggers
