Quantum VS Help: File Maintenance |
The Tasks tab displays Tasks which apply to the selected customer.
Tasks may be used as a record of your interaction with Customers. This includes auto-generated Tasks, which might list sales documents relevant to a Customer, and also manually-created Tasks. Users may create Email Tasks, potentially using Task Templates, which may be emailed to Customer Contacts. For further information on viewing, adding, editing, deleting and Completing Tasks see Task Maintenance.
Note: Tasks can also be viewed in the Diary tab which displays in sales documents (i.e. Sales Orders, Quotes, Sales Enquiries, Sales Contracts and Credit Notes) after you have entered the Customer.
To view customer Tasks:
1. Find and open the Customer record for the required customer. See Finding Customers.
2. Select the Tasks tab. Existing Tasks which apply to the customer are listed:

Click on the Task number No. link to View, Complete, Amend or Delete a particular Task.
