Set your activity types

A number of generic activities types are available by default in Odoo (e.g. call, email, meeting, etc.). If you would like to set new ones, go to Settings ‣ General settings ‣ Activity types.

Schedule meetings

Activities are planned for specific days. If you need to set hours, go with the Meeting activity type. When scheduling one, the calendar will simply open to let you select a time slot.

Tip

If you need to use other activity types with a calendar planning, make sure their Category is set as Meeting.

Schedule a chain of activities to follow

Odoo helps you easily plan your usual flow of activities. Go to Configuration ‣ Activity Types and set the common following steps as Recommended next activities.
