	A tick to say whether the Action has been Done
	When it was or is planned to be done
	Who’s involved
	What was or will be discussed
	Some Actions have Scores associated with them – these can then be Set Up to appear in Check Lists
	A Diary Entry can be flagged with a to indicate that it is important in a way you choose
	A tick to say if the information is confidential
