TABLE OF CONTENTS
Case Tasks allow you to set tasks for yourself or other users. You can set list due dates and set up reminders to be sent at a specified date. If the Task is a long-term item, you have the option to make the task “hidden” via the List Date feature so it does not appear on the task list until it’s closer to the date when you actually need to complete the task.
