Tasks in Redtail
Would love an easier way to assign tasks to our team members. It's annoying to have to add tasks as an activity, then it just adds more to the calendar than is needed.

Hover for activity to see description on the contact screen
When in the Activities tab for our entire database, you are able to hover over the activity and a small popup window displays the description of the activity. I would like the same functionality when you are on an individual contact page viewing activities. It saves a lot of clicks.

Linking spousal activities and notes
There should be a way to link all previous notes and activities to a spouse, even if they are added years later.

Add Timestamp Shortcut
We just migrated from Junxure Cloud and one feature they had that we used all the time is that at the beginning of typing anything into an Activity we would hit [CTRL + J] and it would stamp the date, time and user's initials automatically in the following format:
BK - 11/24/2020 - 12:59:44 PM
We would love for a similar shortcut functionality to be built in as we send our Activities back and forth between team members.

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.

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

activity in use alert
If 2 people are editing an activity at the same time it messes up what information is saved. There should be an alert like there is in word/excel such as "activity is locked for editing by user1, would you like to open a read only copy?"

Activities - Updated Notification
Some of our employees have expressed frustration with the inability to determine what was updated in an activity when they receive the updated activity notification. They suggested is there any way to add a highlight or some type of identifier that shows what was updated on the activity in the notification e-mail. That way it can be determined whether or not action is required without having to make additional clicks.
Thanks!

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.

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…

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.

Mark Activity Incomplete or Canceled
Some activities never get completed, because we don't hear back from a client/prospect or the client/prospect changes their mind. Right now the only option is to make a note in the description and mark it as complete or delete the activity outright.
I would like to mark an activity either Incomplete or canceled to close out the activity, because it is never going to be complete. This would allow me to keep track of essentially wasted work and unresponsive clients. Also, it doesn't make sense to show an activity as completed when it wasn't. Thanks!

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.

Please update your software so that when i complete an activity it goes in client notes the day it was scheduled, not the day i complete it.

assign recurring activity for the last monday of month
i.e. if I want to put Memorial Day in as a Holiday on my calendar every year, recurring, you only have the option for the "first, second, third or fourth" but Memorial day sometimes falls on the 5th Monday because it's always the "last Monday" of a month. i.e. in 2024 it will be the 5th Monday. Make this an option in the drop-down (annually on the last ___day" of the month or so we can make it recurring monthly, every 12 months, on the last __day".

View activities by household
It would be nice if we could see activities per household instead of per individual contact record and marked which contact the activity involves (both, person A or person B). This would reduce lost activities per household without having to switch back and forth between contact records. Especially now, some household members handle their investments individually and some investments together.

notes in activity
It would be nice to be able to see all the notes, together, for a particular activity within the activity at least until the activity is marked complete. They tend to get mixed in with other notes in the notes section and it's hard to tell what is happening in that activity.
Or, it would be nice to have a button that would add the current date and time stamp to items typed in the description field.

Highlighting text feature
Please consider adding text highlighting to activities and notes. It's great to be able to insert emojis, however, emojis are not as useful as the ability to highlight text. At times, I have several things happening in one activity, and would like the ability to highlight some things that might still be outstanding (or even color code the text).
