Tasks can serve as reminders for important actions and deadlines and can be connected to specific grant opportunities and profiles. For example, tasks can be created for submitting an application, sending follow up reports, following up with a list of potential funders, or updating contact information after a certain date. Email notifications for tasks can also be configured. Manage Task Notifications provides guidance.
