• You can also make the task recur.
• You can also set a reminder.
4. (Optional) On the PMS Details tab, assign a client and/or matter to the task.
5. Click OK to add the task.
• To view tasks, you must change the view to the Tasks view.

To create a group task:

1. In the diary, select the user for which you want to create the task.
2. On the Home tab, in the New group, click Group Task, and then from the drop-down click one of the following:
• Use Current Group. Automatically selects the group you are assigned to.
