Messages can be sent within your organisation and have the option of adding task functionality to them . When - when creating a message as a task, this allows a task type and date for the task to become active to be added . When - when done, a task needs to be marked as completed, and will then be removed from the messages/tasks list (although a record of it is always stored on the system)

All tasks and messages can have the records associated to them - this ensures that the task/message is logged as a journal entry and will be shown in the Activity Feed for the associated record
