Mark Complete If you have completed an activity, click Mark Complete. The check mark turns green.
Last modified These fields, located below the activity subject field, display the date the activity information was last changed and the name of the person who made the changes.
Click the Switch to List View icon to see the list view of the form. In this view, fields are displayed in columns in one grid on the form rather than on separate tabs. Records are displayed in each row in the grid. This makes it easy to compare and update multiple records at one time because you do not have to open individual records. To add, remove, or change the order of the columns in the grid, click to the right of the grid and use the Select Columns dialog box.

For information about selecting columns, see Select Columns for a Grid.

For more information about working in list view, see Use List View.

After you have switched to list view, click the Switch to Detail View icon to see the detailed view of the form. Detail view is the view that displays by default when you open a form for the first time; thereafter, the view that was active when you closed the application will display the next time that you display the form. In detail view, all fields are displayed on tabs on the form. The detail view is the one that is described in help topics in the Help system.

Overview tab

The Overview tab has three sections that show detailed information about the selected activity. At the top of the form are activity details. You can view, select, and edit the activity's type, its start and end dates, time, duration, frequency, recurrence, location, priority, and notes about the activity.

The Stakeholders section contains fields that allow you to add attendees and firms for the activity and also assign Primary or Owner roles to the attendees.

The Associations section contains fields that allow you to associate the activity with a specific hub record, such as an opportunity, project, marketing campaign or contact.

Files & Links tab

The Files & Links tab provides an area where you can upload files (documents, presentations, reports, and others) and add links to web resources that are pertinent to your activity.

User-defined tabs

Your system administrator may provide additional user-defined tabs based upon your user role.
