Tasks are a automatically created. Think of them as a to-do list created by Realm.

Certain users, group leaders, and ministry area leaders can view a list of items that require their attention. Tasks are not assigned to congregants unless they hold specific permissions in the product, such as "group leader".

Here are some of the things that generate a task entry:

• Three or more consecutive absences by a group member
• Group event attendance that might need to marked
• Contributions that have yet to be posted
• New announcements
• Notices of new individuals on a pathway or pathway step
• A report is shared with you

Some of these actions won't appear on the task list of the person who initiated them, only for other users and leaders.

Your task list can grow very quickly. For that reason, you can delete most types of notifications from it.
