            Task Fields

            Task records have standard fields for tracking and recording task details.

            Required Editions

            Available in: Salesforce Classic, Lightning Experience, and all versions of the Salesforce mobile app
            Available in: All editions except Personal
            Field Label Description
            Assigned To Indicates the assigned owner of a task. By default, the task is assigned to the user who created it. This field isn’t available in Personal Edition.
            Call Duration Indicates the duration of a call in seconds. This field is populated when a call is answered using Salesforce CRM Call Center.
            Call Object Identifier Indicates the ID of a call logged in Salesforce through Salesforce computer-telephony integration (CTI) with a third-party telephony system. This field is often populated with the ID stored in the telephony system. The limit is 255 characters.
            Call Result Represents the result of a given call; for example, “We’ll call back” or “Call unsuccessful.” The limit is 255 characters. A Salesforce admin can customize the selections in the picklist.
            Call Type Indicates the call type; for example, Inbound, Internal, or Outbound. A Salesforce admin can customize the selections in the picklist.
            Comments Contains a description of the task. The limit is 32 KB of data. If Spell Checker is enabled in your org, a user can spell-check the contents.
            Completed Date/Time Indicates the date and time when the task was completed.
            Create Recurring Series of Tasks Lets a user set up a series of recurring tasks. Enabling this option disables the Due Date field, because each task occurrence in a series has a different due date.
            Created By Indicates the user who created the task, along with the task creation date and time. This field is read only.
            Due Date Indicates the date when the task is due.
            Email Available only in Salesforce Classic. Contains the email address of the contact or lead associated with the task. This field is filled in with the value from the related contact or lead record. In Lightning Experience, hover over the Related To record to access the email address.
            Last Modified By Indicates the user who last changed the task, along with the task modification date and time. This field is read only.
            Name Contains the name of the contact or lead related to the task. If Shared Activities is enabled in your org, a user can relate up to 50 contacts to a non-recurring task. This field is visible only to users who have Read permission for contacts and leads. Relating a contact to a task can affect the account to which Salesforce relates the task. See the Related To field.
            Phone Available only in Salesforce Classic. Contains the phone number of the contact or lead related to the task. In Lightning Experience, hover over the Related To record to access the phone number.
            Priority Indicates the urgency of the task; for example, Low, Normal, or High. A Salesforce admin can customize the selections in the picklist.
            Recurrence Interval Indicates the number of days after the task’s due date or completed date when the next task is due.
            Related To

            Indicates the record that the task is related to, such as an account or an opportunity. This field is available only when a user relates the task to a contact, not to a lead. The record is visible only to users with Read permission for the type of record the task is related to.

            If a user relates the task to an object other than an account, Salesforce determines the account on the task as follows.

            • Suppose that a user relates the task to an opportunity, a contract, or a custom entity that belongs to an account. Salesforce uses that object’s account as the account for the task.
            • Suppose that a user relates the task to some other object and also to a contact. Salesforce uses the primary contact’s account as the account for the task.
            • If a user leaves the Related To field empty, Salesforce doesn’t relate an account to the task.
            Reminder Set Indicates whether a popup a reminder is set for the task.
            Repeat This Task Indicates a repeating task.
            Status Indicates the status of a task; for example, “Not started” or “Completed.” A Salesforce admin can customize the selections in the picklist.
            Subject Contains the subject of the task.
            Task Subtype Indicates the subtype of the task; for example, Call, List Email, or Task. This field can be used to refine task searches. This field is read only.
            Type Indicates the task type; for example, Email or Meeting. The limit for values in the picklist is 40 characters.
