Creating Tasks

If you need a reminder to chase something up, you can create a New Task or To Do item which can be followed up in the Tasks widget on the Main Dashboard.

Tasks can be created for you or be assigned to someone else, and be given a priority.

You can create a To Do from the Tasks widget on the Main Dashboard and also from a property, a contact, viewings, market appraisals, offers and progressions.
