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.

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).

link activity template automatically with note template
When using a Note template, we can select Create Follow-Up Activity so it will automatically initiate a new activity, but if we could predetermine the activity template that would be best.
For instance selecting a note template for RegBI Conversation - it would be great to allow me to open the RegBI Tracking Activity we have set up in the tracker.

Let us set a default for the "Things to do Today" block. I would love to set it to show my past due, today, and upcoming as default.
Let us set a default for the "Things to do Today" block. I would love to set it to show my past due, today, and upcoming as default.
Example of an incident that occurred...I knew when I left yesterday that I had no outstanding activities. This morning I didn't check my past due. An advisor had tagged me in an activity yesterday that I was unaware of.30 votes -

Link ALL accounts to an activity with one click
In some cases, such as portfolio reviews, ALL accounts for a client family are involved. It is very cumbersome (and time consuming) to have to click each individual account to link them to an activity. It would be very nice if you could add a "LINK ALL ACCOUNTS" button to the activity link page. Thank you for your consideration!

Automatically SAVE INPUT and do it WITHOUT CLOSING the activity or note or whatever is beingupdated.
According to this forum, this suggestion (posted in 2016, 2017, 2018) was completed. Funny, since it's our biggest daily problem. We lose data so often that we have to keep a word doc open in the background during the day to enter notes and then find the time to cut and paste to Redtail. Counterproductive? You bet. Keeping notes for our client records is the main reason we purchased RedTail and it's proving less reliable than Outlook Notes. Finding the time at the end of each day to cut and paste into RedTail is ... difficult. so many words came…
