# Task table structure

The Task table structure provides a framework to organize and store task-related data, and includes extensive customization options.

-   **[Important Task table fields](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/table-administration-and-data-management/r_ImportantTaskTableFields.md)**  
The Task table is a base class that provides fields for the core ITSM applications such as Incident, Problem, and Change Management. All applications that extend the Task table share these fields in common.
-   **[Journal fields](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/table-administration-and-data-management/r_JournalFields.md)**  
Journal fields work together to create a log of changes and comments as tasks are worked on.
-   **[Reminder table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-administration/table-administration-and-data-management/reminder-table.md)**  
The Reminder \[reminder\] table provides a way to auto-generate reminders for a task.
