Create an Action Item

You are the owner of action items you create. As the owner, you can modify or delete an action item. You can modify the properties of a personal action item you create from the Action Item Properties page. For an action item assigned to you by another user, you can update only the status.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Home, and from Personal, click Organizer.
2. Click New.
3. Complete the information in the General section. The following fields require explanation:

   Example: Enter 1 to create a status report each week.
