The Tasks UI

The Task application display has three columns:

• Image Modified : This first column, under the "New task" button, shows the lists of tasks you are subscribed to: your default list "My tasks", as well as other lists you've created or you've subscribed to (via settings)
• : The second column shows the tasks contained in the list selected. The action button at the top of the column allows you to export and import tasks from or into this list
• : The third column, the main display area, shows the details of the task which is being created or selected.

Task lists

By default, you have one list named "My tasks" and you can create as many additional lists as you like. You can also subscribe to lists other users share with you via settings.

To add a new list, enter your name in the "Add..." box at the bottom of Image Modified and press <Enter> to confirm:

A list's tasks are arranged according to their status in drop-down sub-lists:

• COMPLETED: list of completed tasks
• LATE: highlights the uncompleted tasks whose due date has passed
• THIS WEEK: tasks whose due date is in the current week
• THIS MONTH: tasks whose due date is in the current month, excluding the current week
