More Tips
The Recent view shows newly created tasks
After quickly jotting tasks with QuickTasks, use the Organizer to set dates and refine newly created to-dos.
Groups can be collapsed and expanded within each view
This lets you more efficiently hone in on the work you are focused on. Click on the arrow icon to right of a group to toggle showing the group items, or click on the +/- icon on the bottom right to toggle all groups. Printing also shows or hides items according to the group visibility.
The Organizer can manage task by Start Date or Due Date.
Click the gear icon on the bottom right to change. The start date can be an effective way to separate when work should be done from when it is due.
