Get Organized by Planning Activities

When you plan activities you minimize the risk of uncertainties, as you provide clear directions for the course of your next action. In addition to that, you do not leave space for wasteful activities and reduce the chance of having overlapping actions between team members.

Where do I see my schedule activities?

Access and manage your activities wherever you are in Odoo by the Activities menu.
