Activity Management OverviewMain Navigation > Customers App > Customer Detailed View
The detailed view’s “Common business tools” are features available in every app. By having one central method to manage
activities, it makes your daily process easy. You access the system in two frames of mind:
1. Work on all previous tasks & activities you’ve set for yourself (or assigned to your by a colleague)
2. Work on a specific task (create a contact, cold call a list, analyze current pipeline, etc)
In the first scenario, we have a central “Agenda”, which lets you view activities scheduled from anywhere in the system.
