Task
The Task form enables users to carry out their daily tasks in an organised way. Task records are created during workflows, redirected to the final users by other people or created by users themselves from almost any form in PANTHEON. After saving, the task appears in the person responsible's task list on the To-do form.
The Task form opens either upon clicking on the 
(Add task) button, located in the toolbar on any PANTHEON form or when double-clicking on a task in the Tab view or Calendar view on the To-do form.
