Tasks Tab: Viewing Branch Tasks

The Tasks tab displays Tasks for the selected branch.

 

Tasks may be used as a record of your interaction with Branches. This includes auto-generated Tasks, which might list sales and purchasing documents relevant to a Branch, and also manually-created Tasks. Users may create Email Tasks, potentially using Task Templates, which may be emailed to Branch Contacts. For further information on viewing, adding, editing, deleting and Completing Tasks see Task Maintenance.

 

To view Branch Tasks:

 

1.      Find and open the Branch record for the required branch. See Finding Branch Records.

 

2.      Select the Tasks tab. Existing Tasks which apply to the branch are listed:
