Tasks are one of the types of activities that can be added to the Timeline on a member's record. It is a unique activity type because it can be assigned to an admin with a due date and the admin can mark it complete when done. Tasks also have a status, so you'll know if they are open, overdue, or complete. When it comes to managing your team's tasks, that's where the Task Center comes in handy.
Here are a few highlights of how the Task Center will be your new best friend!
Manage tasks for your entire team.
View a list of tasks that have been assigned to you, and see if they are overdue.
Create new tasks, and edit or delete existing tasks.
Send fewer emails to your co-workers - create a task instead.

Tasks can only be added by and assigned to users with Full Admin or Limited Admin access. Learn more about adding and editing user privileges.

Manage Tasks in the Task Center
Found under the Members section on the backend, the Task Center is a centralized place to manage your team's member-related tasks, which are actionable items added to a member's record by an admin.
The Task Center link (in the left sidebar menu) will show a red number badge beside it with a count of open tasks that are assigned to you.

Sections in the Task List
The list of tasks is split into 3 sections, based on the status of the tasks:
Overdue
Open
Completed
When you first come to the Task Center, the default view will display Overdue and Open tasks that are assigned to you.
Overdue tasks show as red instead of blue. Note: If a task is due today, it won't show as overdue until midnight.
If you mark a task complete, it won't move to the Completed section of the list until you refresh the page.
