From your Today page, you'll see a menu running along the top of your screen that allows you to easily access important data that's not on the main Today page:
Here, we'll take a look at what you'll see when clicking "Activities" from that menu:

Users menu — clicking this will open up a menu that will allow you to select the database user whose Open Activities you want to view:
Activity Options - after selecting one, some or all activities on display, clicking this will open up a menu that will allow you to perform the following actions on those activities: Complete Selected Items, Reassign Selected Items (to a different database user), Reschedule Selected items, Rollover Selected Items or Delete Selected Items :
Add Activity button — clicking this will allow you to create a new Activity.
Open Activity Columns
Now we'll take a look at the default columns displayed within your open activities:
Note that each column has a set of up/down arrows to the right of the column name that will allow you to sort your currently displayed open activities by that particular column's data.
We'll look at each of these columns below:
Selection Column
Use this column to select one or multiple Activities to work with. Or, select the very top box here to select/deselect All activities.
Actions Menu
- Edit will bring up the Activity's Details, where you can make multiple edits if necessary.
- Complete will allow you to mark the Activity complete.
- Reschedule will allow you to change the date/time for the Activity.
- Rollover will allow you to change the due date for the Activity to today.
- Timeline will display a history of updates to the Activity.
- Delete will remove the Activity from your database.
