Image Name and icon associated with the task. For information about how to select images, see the "Select Images" section of the Options chapter in the Blackbaud CRM Page Design Guide.
SmallImage

Smaller image (if any) associated with the task. Where applicable (such as on the task toolbar drop‐down menus), the system uses the small image if present. If no small image is present, the system defaults to the selected image. The small image allows the system to tune smaller images for a better display, rather than scale the larger image.

Folder Name of the folder, if any, where the task is stored in the functional area. For example, there may be a number of Administration tasks that only your IT manager uses. With this field, you can create an "IT Manager" folder and assign the selected tasks to it in the Administration functional area. After a task is assigned to a folder, it no longer appears as a standalone task on the Functional Area page.
FolderImage Image (if any) associated with the folder.
TaskGroup

Name of the task group where the task is included (if any). For example, in the Major Giving functional area, the Fundraiser task group and Prospect task group each address a specific area in Major Giving. Within these groups are a series of tasks, such as add a fundraiser, search for a fundraiser, etc.
