How to Create Task in Microsoft Outlook (and Synchronize It With eWay-CRM)

Poznámka
eWay-CRM uses standard email and calendar features of Outlook but for tasks, there is a special eWay-CRM module. Tasks can be saved separately in both applications but you can also synchronize them – see Automatically Synchronize Tasks With Outlook. Now, you can work wit your tasks in Outlook as you are used to and they will be saved to eWay-CRM too.

If you make a mistake and open Outlook task window instead of eWay-CRM, do not worry. Nothing is changed.

  1. Select Superior Item.
  2. Superior Item on Task

     

  3. Insert other values that are important for you.
  4.  

  5. Click Save or Save and Close icon.
    Because you have selected Superior Item, task will be automatically saved to eWay-CRM, too. Leaving Superior Item empty, will save task only to Microsoft Outlook.
  6. Save Task in Outlook

eWay-CRM Online
