Get Organized by Planning Activities
Get organized by planning activities
====================================
Activities help colleagues work together more effectively by minimizing the chance of something
being overlooked or work being duplicated by multiple people. Plus, replacing emails or phone
calls with activities reduces the time spent communicating and improves the visibility of the work
being done.
When you plan activities you minimize the risk of uncertainties, as you provide clear directions
for the course of your next action. In addition to that, you do not leave space for wasteful
activities and reduce the chance of having overlapping actions between team members.
Where do I see my schedule activities?
======================================
Access and manage your activities wherever you are in Odoo by the *Activities* menu.
Access and manage activities
============================
To access and manage activities, click on the :guilabel:`Clock Icon` along the top of any Odoo app to open the
:guilabel:`Activities` menu.

If you need to create an activity type with an available calendar, make sure to create
it with an *Action to Perform* set as *Meeting*.
To create an activity type that uses a calendar, set the :guilabel:`Action to Perform` field to
:guilabel:`Meeting`.

Odoo helps you to plan a flow of activities by allowing you to set *Recommended Next Activities*.
