Represents the result of a given call; for example, “we’ll call back” or “call unsuccessful.” Limit is 255 characters. A Salesforce admin can customize the selections in the picklist.

Call Type

Indicates the call type: inbound, internal, or outbound. A Salesforce admin can customize the selections in the picklist.

Comments

Contains a description of the task. The limit is 32 KB of data. If Spell Checker is enabled in your org, a user can spell-check the contents.

Create Recurring Series of Tasks

This checkbox lets a user set up a series of recurring tasks. Enabling this option disables the Due Date field, because each task occurrence in a series has a different due date.

Created By

Indicates the user who created the task, along with the task creation date and time. Read only.

Division

Indicates the division to which the task belongs. This value is inherited from the related account, lead, case, or custom object, if any. Otherwise, the task belongs to the global division. Available only in orgs in which divisions are used to segment data.

Due Date

Indicates the date when the task is due.

Email

Available in Salesforce Classic. Contains the email address of the contact or lead associated with the task. This field is filled in with the value from the related contact or lead record. In Lightning Experience, hover over the Related To record to access the email address.

Last Modified By

Indicates the user who last changed the task, along with the task modification date and time. This field is read only.

Name

Contains the name of the contact or lead related to the task. If Shared Activities is enabled in your org, a user can relate up to 50 contacts to a non-recurring task. This field is visible only to users who have the “Read” permission for contacts and leads. Relating a contact to a task can affect the account to which Salesforce relates the task. See the Related To field.

Phone

Available in Salesforce Classic. Contains the phone number of the contact or lead related to the task. In Lightning Experience, hover over the Related To record to access the phone number.

Priority

Indicates the urgency of the task; for example, low, medium, or high. A Salesforce admin can customize the selections in the picklist.

Public

By selecting this checkbox, a user can specify that the completed task is visible in the Self-Service portal.

If digital experiences are enabled in your org, this field specifies whether a task is visible to external users in Experience Cloud sites. If an external user owns the task, that user sees the task in the site regardless of whether it’s marked Public.

This field isn’t visible by default. A Salesforce admin can make it visible.

Related To

Indicates the record that the task is related to, such as an account or an opportunity. This field is available only when a user relates the task to a contact, not to a lead. The record is visible only to users with the “Read” permission for the type of record the task is related to.

If a user relates the task to an object other than an account, Salesforce determines the account on the task as follows.

• Suppose that a user relates the task to an opportunity, a contract, or a custom entity that belongs to an account. Salesforce uses that object’s account as the account for the task.

• Suppose that a user relates the task to some other object and also to a contact. Salesforce uses the primary contact’s account as the account for the task.

• If a user leaves the Related To field empty, Salesforce doesn’t relate an account to the task.

Status

Indicates the status of a task; for example, “not started” or “completed.” A Salesforce admin can customize the selections in the picklist.

Subject

Contains the subject of the task.

Task Record Type

Contains the name of the field that determines which picklist values are available for the record. Available in Professional, Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and Developer Editions.

Type
