Creating a Task
There can be different types of tasks:
Task for an employee (prepare documents, meet a client, organize a meeting, etc.)
Appointment with an employee
Task (reminder) for yourself, etc.
Therefore, the creation process of these tasks differs. Basically, you can create them with the To Do option and alternatively with the Calendar.
