Difference and definition of Action, Task, Event and Appointment activities in AX2012R3

Hi Community,

Under Home > Common > Activities > All activities. you can create new activities.

4 different type of activity categories exists in AX:

  1. Task
  2. Action
  3. Event 
  4. Appointment

I would like to know the definition of each of these categories. And what is the functional purpose of each of them.

What I understood so far:

Task is the equivalent of Action. Only difference is that Task can be synchronised with Outlook where Action not.

Same for Appointment which is the equivalent of Event. Only difference is that Appointment can be synchronised with Outlook where Event not.

Any documentation, blog or extra information is warmly welcomed.

Thank you so much, Jemm

    Hi Jemm,

    as i know there is no extra documentation about it, as you decide how to use them.

    The main difference between the types are some fields and the Synchronisation with Outlook, like you have already written.
