Hi everyone, this is my first post here, so please excuse me if I’ve got the wrong classification.

I am trying to find a way to filter my contacts and show those which have no Task associated with them.

Our database now has around 500 contacts and I need to make sure they are all being managed. I need to know that each one has a task associated with it.

If there’s also a way to shows connected contacts, and if theyve also got a task entered, that would be even more helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Graham

Hi @GWiffen,

You can do this by creating two lists. For the first one, filter for _Activity properties_:

 ![karstenkoehler_0-1688395362895.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/2X/e/e498ea1fb3c42fe9a6d73cfc8653b083140b3379.png)

You can then filter for _Activity type_ = Task.

Now, after saving this first list, create a **second** list and filter for contacts who are not a member of the first list.

Contacts from the first list have at least one task, contacts in the second list (if they aren’t in list 1) must logically have 0 associated tasks.

Best regards!

This doesn’t seem to work anymore. I see the I can filter on Activity (Associated Object) but there is no =task option. A little help?
