How do I create tasks?

You can review and add tasks on the Tasks tab:


There are 2 main types of tasks, Smart Tasks and Other Tasks


Smart tasks are created automatically when the minimum required data is included in your client import. You can manually add the necessary additional information at the client level at any time to activate the creation of a smart task. The minimum information required to create each Smart Task is shown below:
