How To Make Completed Activities Show on the Calendar

You can bet this is going to end up on my Top 10 List in December!

It’s a question/complaint I get asked at least once a week. 

By default, after you complete an activity it will no longer appear on the calendar.  Sure, it appears on the contact’s record, but it no longer appears on the calendar!

… It’s There!

Then you complete the activity, and now, it’s not!

What Insanity!?!

Fortunately, changing this is just a couple of click away.  First, Right-Click within the Calendar and choose Activities.

Next, check the types of completed activities you wish to display.  This list is on the right side of the window.

I prefer to show everything except Messages and Others.

Click OK, and voila!

The completed activities show up with a gray background, with a line crossing out the contact/company and reference!
