If you are locked onto an account the account will auto-populate in the activity card; otherwise, you can search for the account by typing in the account name. You are also required to choose an *activity type* and either associate the activity with an open *engagement model* or choose “none”.  If this is a task for the future you can fill out the “scheduled on” section which you can later filter by to clearly see all future scheduled activity cards.
