My Schedule

My Schedule, within the Activities module, brings together the activities assigned to you. You can review deadlines, open related records, and update each activity's status.

In this guide​

General workflow​

  1. Open Activities → My Schedule to review your assigned activities.
  2. Choose a view or use the list tools to find an activity.
