Activity List Tab
The Activity List gives users the ability to view activities for a specific user, specific date, and specific activity type. Activity Lists can be customized to display selected columns. Activities can be sorted, scheduled, exported to excel, completed, viewed, edited, or deleted. Activities can also be created/edited/deleted on the Activities Tab on the contact record.
