Guided Tour > Task List

The Task List shows all or some of your tasks, depending on the choices you make on the Filter Panel.

The columns show the various properties of your tasks, as indicated by the words or icons at the top of each column. To see the meaning of an icon, hover your mouse over it. The meanings of all these properties are described in the Task Properties page.

The icon on the left shows if the task is a member of a group or on its own. See Groups and Subtasks. You also use the icon for Drag and Drop.

You may find you don't need all of the columns. For example, some people don't bother with Start Dates. To hide a column, right-click the column header, or choose View->Show / Hide Columns. This brings up a list of columns. Uncheck any columns you wish to hide.

You can change the order of the columns. Just drag a column header to where you want it to be.

You can change the width of the columns. Just drag the left or right border in the column header.

You can change the order of the tasks in the list. Click on a column header to sort by the contents of that column. Click again to reverse the order.

You can change any of the properties of a task. Just click on the entry and change it. Alternatively, double-click on a task to bring up the Task Properties window.

You can switch between the Note List and the Task List by clicking the tab or pressing F5.
