Form functions

Activities are usually created from within the contact forms (Companies, Persons) or from cases using the activity assistant Activity (New), and thus assigned to the record.

Functions that modify important information in the forms are available in the fields and in the func­tion area of the different activity forms and lists. These functions can be found at several places for a better overview.

Note: There is a button Extended in the form Letter / Fax and email, as well as the sub­form Additional data in all activity forms for further information.

Change status (field)

Allows you to freely change the status of the activity.

Change priority (field)

Lets you change the priority of the activity.

Change responsible person (field)

Opens the selection list of internal staff members for delegating the activity. With correspondences, changing the responsible agent is not the same as "delegating"!

Type

Definition of the type of the task, the call, the email, the letter or the appointment. Information such as Incoming or Outgoing can be specified here.

In the function area of the different activity forms, comprehensive module-specific functions are avail­able.

Save attachments

With this function, you can now save all attachments locally in a single step. The function is also available in activity overviews. You don't need to open any document individually and exe­cute the function "Save as" anymore.

Message

Allows you to define a scheduled message for yourself as a reminder or, in addition, for further internal staffs members as a message.

Show in the form - at overview lists

Among other places, the function is also offered in activity relations (sublist in contacts, quotes etc.), allowing a user, for example, to filter for correspondences, select them, load them into the form and browse the correspon­dences for fields that are not available in the list, e.g., by sender or recipient.

In the function bar of the different activity forms, comprehensive module-specific functions are avail­able.
