Tasks can be used to support your day-to-day workflow. Tasks allow you to prioritize objectives by time and make sure that you get reminded when it is due.
You can create tasks against all types of records in the system and you can assign them to yourself or any other user in the system.
When you are set a task by another user, you will also receive an email notification alerting you to your new assignment. You can manage your notifications in 'My Settings' > 'Email Notifications'.
