[Vtigercrm-developers] activities vs calendar

[Brian Devendorf]

Gopal,

Yes, I think that is the right direction. You may want to have an  
Upcoming Meetings and Tasks view (similar to the Home module). This  
would always provide a quick glance of what is coming soon on the  
calendar and task side. It also provides a way to display tasks that  
do not have dates associated with them. You would also want  
displaying of tasks on the calendar grid to be a user specific  
option, as some people do not like it.
