# Tasks

Tasks show work that needs your attention in SureCloud.

You may receive tasks as part of a workflow.

### Find your tasks

You can find tasks in two places:

* **Active Tasks** on your [Homepage](/surecloud-docs/documentation/quick-start/quickstart/homepage.md)
* **Task List** from the clipboard icon in the top toolbar

Select any task to open the related record.

### Task status groups

Tasks on your homepage are grouped by due date:

* **Overdue**\
  The due date has passed.
* **Due soon**\
  The due date is within the next 7 days, including today.
* **On track**\
  The due date is more than 7 days away.

### Open the full task list

Use the **Task List** in the top toolbar to:

* view all active tasks
* review completed tasks
* open the related record for any task

### New task notifications

When a new task is assigned to you:

* you may receive an email notification
* a badge appears on the task icon in the top toolbar

The badge shows that new tasks are waiting.
