Allow activities to automatically roll forward every day
We just transitioned from ACT. In ACT all activities that were not completed during the day automatically rolled forward to the following day. There was no need to check for incomplete activities in ACT. It would be very helpful to incorporate this feature into RedTail.

table editing
I added a table to an activity and while I like that feature I find there is no obvious way to change your mind after you start about how many rows and columns you want it to have. That would be helpful

Lock Open Activities from Editing
We would like to see an ability for "lock editing" on activities so that only the person who created the activity can make changes. All users and attendees can view, but only the creator (or designated user (s)) can edit.

add ability to sort / filter activities by a contact's status or contact's category (e.g. segment)
we have our clients segmented into 4 categories and it would be really helpful to be able to look at activities, especially past due activities by client segment. If we could filter the past due activities by contact category that would allow us to to see what outstanding activities remain by client service tier

Automation
The option to update/set field for UDF does not currently exist in Redtail. You can set a field with the trigger being "Activity Added", but the options of the field to update is limited to:
Activity Type
Activity Category
Activity Importance
Activity Priority
So does not include a UDF field.Also, we would want the trigger to be Activity Category marked as completed - not added, so the UDF field would be updated once Activity was completed. Otherwise we would have to remember to delete, if Activity is cancelled. Currently a UDF as Review date field for each year. We…

Activity Pinning
It would be a great resource for activities to be pinned at the top of an activity list. Listing an activity as a high priority with the exclamation point only goes so far. The date does not roll, so if the user doesn't know to update his columns by priority or if it changes, then the activity goes back to the original date. Going thorough and rolling each activity every morning is inefficient. If there was an easy way to PIN a certain activity to the top it would stay at the top of your list no matter what.

Comments in Linked Notes
In Activities, under Linked Notes, it would be beneficial to add an indicator (maybe an astrick) to a note when someone has added a comment. There is no way of knowing if someone has commented, unless you open the note.

activity font
It would be helpful if we could change the default font, to a larger font, in the body of the activity.

scheduling reoccurring activities
There used to be more options for scheduling re-occurring activities! I have client who don't always want to meet every so many days/weeks/or months.... we like to select a certain day every April and November for instance. Can we have those options returned please???!!! When the changes were made it removed A LOT of activities off our calendar and clients are getting confused now.

dont delete activity when multiple users are in same activity
I am baffled that I was told this is not a glitch. But, when two users are updating one task simultaneously, one of them will simply be ignored, and none of their new data will be captured in the task. they will have no idea the task was not updated unless they quality control every item and spend an hour each day making sure redtail did capture what redtail was supposed to capture. see ticket 992803 for background if you want

Adding a strikethrough option similar to how you can bold and underline text
I think it would be helpful to add a strikethrough text option just like how there is a bold text and underline text option. This would allow you to strikethrough the next when you have completed a step in the description box of an activity.

past due activities view should be default view
When looking at Today, I'd like to see "Past due" as well as "tue today" activities as a default

Open Activities
I created a new activity type - outstanding issue to mark those things where we have reached out to the client but not heard back from them so the issue is still outstanding. Normally I'd put this in important information but that field is too easy to ignore (until you fix that, right?). My thought was to just add a date on those activities for the end of next year but I realized I can't easily see that. It doesn't show up on the main contact page, doesn't show up when i click on activities, and there is no quick…

Go directly to "Activity Details" when creating a new activity
We want to be able to go straight to the activity details page when creating a new activity. This would create some efficiencies for our team (fewer clicks for activity creation) but, more importantly, it would reduce duplicate email notifications for activities.
For example, right now, when we click "Add activity" and add the relevant details in the abbreviated "Create Activity" window, attendees get an "activity assigned" notification email as soon as we click "create & edit" and then another "activity updated" email once we actually have the opportunity to get to the activity details screen to add a description…

Add Alerts For Past Due Activates As A Reminder To Home Page on Redtail
Adding an Alert activity for all the Past Due Activities would be a good reminder and beneficial to add to the Home Page on Redtail- If the activities become a week old. This would be helpful so you don't miss any activities that fall through the cracks, due to a busy day or if you had a sick day. Sometimes we don't remember to check our past dues and they end up in the Past Due page for a long time. Because they are no longer visible to us until you click on the button that says Past Due. A…

ACTIVITY NOTE
The note section within an activity should date, time and put the username of the user leaving a note. For one activity 3 users may need to leave notes at different times and that would be nice to not have to type in the date and your name after each and every note within the activity.

tasks
It would be helpful to add an activity and not have a specific date & time required as an input. This would help with outstanding tasks and not clutter up the calendar. We would like to use RedTail as a task tracker without having to build workflows. We would like to simply assign a task to an employee with no due date and no workflow steps.

Activity - "Waiting for" field
Activities are often delayed when waiting for a response or action to be completed by a non-Redtail user. I would like a "Waiting for" field that displays as part of the activity list to indicate why an activity isn't being completed.
I currently do this as part of the Activity description, but I have to remember to delete that part prior to completing the activity so it doesn't become part of the permanent Note title.
