What's different between a "Task" & "To Do"?

 

 

Task

A Task is an action item or followup that is related to a specific contact in your BigContacts account For example if you want to assign a task for someone on your team to followup with a customer, you would assign a task for a team member to followup with that specific contact.

A task can be assigned either from the contact record OR from the calendar.  See notes below as to how you can assign a task from either area in your BigContacts account.
