Create Tasks from the RingDNA Communications Hub
Revenue enables you to create tasks right from the RingDNA Communications Hub during or after calls with contacts.
Step 1: During or after a call, click the New Task icon. |
|
Step 2: Add a Title/Subject to your Task. |
|
Step 3: Select the Type of task (e.g. call, meeting, etc.) |
|
Step 4: Select a priority for your task (Low, Medium or High). This will display tasks in the order of importance. |
|
Step 5: The task will be assigned to you by default. However, if you’d like to assign it to someone else, enter the name of the colleague you'd like to assign the task to, click the Magnifier icon to trigger a Salesforce search, and then select the right record from the search results. |
|
Step 6: Set a due date by either clicking on the field or the calendar icon. Clicking on the field would open a datetime selector whereas clicking on the calendar icon would open a dropdown of datetime values to choose from. This is especially useful for scheduling follow-up actions. |
|
Step 7: Click Add a Reminder and then select a reminder time and date to be reminded about the task in Salesforce. |
|
Step 8: Enter a description of your task (optional). |
|
Step 9: Click Save to save your task. |
If there are additional Salesforce fields you want to include in this Create Task form, you can ask your RingDNA Admins to configure them for your Profile at Admin Console -> Profiles -> Edit -> Task Fields |
Update Tasks from the RingDNA Communications Hub
Revenue makes it easy to update tasks right from the Dialer:
-
Filter to just see open tasks
-
Change a task’s due date

Edit a task (subject line, status, date and comments)
-
Close out tasks
View Open Tasks
After a call (or by searching for a contact in the Dialer) you can quickly view all open tasks associated with that contact by clicking the Open Tasks icon. |
Change a Task’s Due Date
If you have permission to edit a task, you can quickly change a task’s due date by clicking on the calendar icon underneath an open task. Note: This is useful for times when you are unable to connect with a prospect and wish to set a reminder to follow up on a certain day. |

Step 3: When you've finished editing your task, click Save. |
Close Out a Task
To close out tasks, click Mark as Complete. If you mark as complete by accident, simply click “Undo.” |
Clone a Task
RingDNA Communications Hub gives you the option to create a copy of a task when closing or saving existing open task. Cloning a task will not only create a draft for a new task, but some data from the originating task will be copied over to the new draft in order to save you time. The information carried over from the old to new task will include:
To clone a task simply click the blue arrow next to Save and then click Save & New Task |
