What is a Core task?

A Core task works much the same way a Core Link does. If you have tasks that you must do for every book, then create a Core Task for it. Now every time you create a new book record in AHS, that task will be there for you to assign a date. No more forgetting to contact the editor in time, or launching a Goodreads contest for the softcover. Now that task will be waiting for you when you're getting the new book ready. For more details, go to the AHS Core Task article.
