Creating a Task List
The Tasks feature has a Task List option that allows you to record the completion of one of your company's standard procedures for a contract, company, or project using a template that contains a series of steps. Once the task list is created, the owner of each task in the list will receive an email notification, advising them that a task is awaiting their completion.
A Task List a simplified version of the workflow that does not support messaging or allow a task to be approved. Therefore, it is recommended that you consider both Workflows and Task Lists to determine which option better suits your needs.
