In the team Command account, team SmartPlans are an efficient way for team tasks to be created systematically. In addition to that, team members of any permission level can manually create and manage team tasks within the Tasks applet. However, the permission level of the team member will determine what team tasks they can see and manage:
- Standard - Team members with Standard permissions are able to create and assign tasks to anyone on the team. If a contact is associated with the task, they can assign it to Enhanced and Unlimited permission team members as well as Standard permission team members that were also assigned to that team contact. However, they are only able to see and manage tasks that they have either been assigned or created.
- Enhanced/Unlimited - Team members with Enhanced or Unlimited permissions are also able to create and assign tasks to anyone on the team and associate any team contact with the task as well. They are also able to see and manage all team tasks.
Once a team member has created tasks, or has had tasks that have been generated from team SmartPlans, they will be able to do certain actions to manage these tasks:
- Use the search and filters to find specific tasks
- Complete tasks
- Reschedule tasks
- Reassign tasks to another team member
- Add notes to a contact through a task
- Archive tasks
- Unarchive or Delete Archived Tasks

Call and Text Tasks Next to the task name, call tasks are indicated with a phone icon, , and text tasks are indicated with a message icon, .
