  • Collaboration Launch Pad You can use the Collaboration menu in this iView to create tasks for selected contacts.
• In the room
  • Tasks in Room In a room (for example, a team room or a project room), this iView displays all tasks that are assigned to the members of the room in question. You can edit these tasks or create new tasks.

• Standard task
