Card (Opportunity, Ticket, Project)
On cards you can record information and tasks related to your customers and relevant events. Information can be stored in fields that are customizable.
Owner, Task assignee
To every card belongs an owner and to every task belongs a task assignee. They can even be assigned automatically. Owners are responsible for the completion of the business transaction and task assignees are responsible for exeuting the task. Tasks can be assigned to other users as well, not only to the owner of the card.

Statuses
Statuses reflect the steps of your company’s sales process in which leads are moved step by step towards the actual purchase and one-off customers are turned into regular customers. The goal is to proceed to the next step.

Tasks
You can add tasks on cards. A task assignee is assigned to every task, who is responsible for executing it. Tasks that were marked as finished can be seen under History.
