To Create New Calendar Tasks

A task is a single item that you need to do. Tasks are similar to events and are created in almost the same way. The difference between tasks and events is that tasks appear in a tasks bar to the left of the calendar and events appear within the Calendar itself. Tasks also have a completion status whereas events do not. If team members collaborate with one another, the task feature lets members notify one another of a task's status or when a task is completed. In this demo, you create a public task that others can view when they subscribe to your calendar.
