Review your prospecting activity
In your HubSpot account, navigate to Workspaces > Prospecting. The Summary tab provides a holistic overview of all of your prospecting activity, from your upcoming and overdue tasks, to your scheduled meetings and sequence tasks. If you're a super admin, click the name dropdown at the top to view other users' prospecting activity.
On the Summary tab you can review:
- Your task progress: all of your tasks organized by type. Click the Due today dropdown menu to view all tasks that are Due today or Overdue.
- Tasks: tasks categorized by due today, overdue, and due tomorrow. Click the type to see a list of tasks. Click a task to see the details and a preview of the associated record on the right. Click Start all [X] tasks due today to view all tasks at once. In this view, you can complete each task by clicking the checkmark next to the task. In the top left, use the dropdown menu to change the view or view all tasks at once.
- Meetings: a count of your meetings that are completed, scheduled and no show during the selected time period. For example, if a meeting is scheduled in June to take place in July, it would only show when you change the filter to include July. Click the dropdown menu to change the time frame.
- Schedule: a calendar of your meetings, calls, and tasks for today. To view the details of a meeting, including virtual meeting links, click the event. To view your full schedule, click the Schedule tab at the top of the page.
Please note: if you're a super admin and are using the name dropdown to view another user's activity, meetings on their schedule will show as Busy.
- Sequences: all task reminders in your active sequences. Click the step name to review the details of the task and a preview of the associated contact record. Complete a task by clicking the checkmark next to the task. In the top left, use the sequence title and sequence step dropdown menus to change the sequence or sequence step. To see all tasks at once, select All task steps.
- Suggested activities: automatically generated suggestions based on specific criteria to help you better organize your day and improve efficiency. Suggested activities are only created if all of the creation criteria are met. Suggested activities will expire if any of the expiration conditions are met.
