Creating and managing tasks

In this section, you'll learn how to create and manage a task so that you receive a reminder of items you need to complete by a certain date and a status report. Additionally, we will cover how to mark tasks as complete and assign a task to another Outlook user. Accepting and declining task assignments will also be covered in this section.
