This How-to covers creating a task for yourself or another Prevail user in your database.

Tasks are "to do" items. You use them in Prevail to assign actions or duties to users. Tasks are usually associated with a matter, but you may also have tasks that aren't associated with a specific case. After the user has completed the "to do" item, he or she can mark the task as complete in Prevail.
