Terminology

Throughout these web pages, the word "Customer" is used to refer to a record in the Customer register. That record does not necessarily represent a firm that has purchased goods or services from your business, and in fact can represent any company that is a potential customer or supplier.

As soon as contact is established between your business and a potential client, you should record their details in the Customer register. If you have the CRM and Mail Value Pack, you can register their relationship with you (e.g. "Prospect" or "Lead") using the Customer Classification field on the 'Contact' card of the Customer record.

The following phrases have sometimes been used to describe Activities of various kinds:

Phrase	Refers to an Activity where...
Calendar Activity	the Task Type is Calendar
To Do Activity	the Task Type is To Do
Timed To Do Activity	Type is Timed To Do
Time Activity	the Task Type is Calendar and the Calendar Type is Time (an Activity representing actual time spent in carrying out a task)
Profile Activity	the Task Type is Calendar and the Calendar Type is Profile (an Activity representing the booking of planned [future] time)
