Adding a Client Task

If you have permission to add a client task, you can use the Add menu and select Add Task. This launches the Add Task wizard where it will ask what type of task you wish to create. Select Client, then on the next page, select the client the task shall belong to, and go into the Details page.

Alternatively, if you're already on the client you wish to add a task to, go to the Tasks tab and select Add Task. This goes directly into the Details page of the New Client Task wizard.


Details page

The Details page is the last page of the New Client Task wizard:

  • Most of the fields on the pages are self-explanatory, however, we'll highlight fields that require further explanation.
  • All fields marked with the text Required must be completed before saving the Client Task. 


1. Description- Text entered in this field can be used to search for the Client Task in the Search bar.
