The To Do Application
Making new
entries
The
To Do
application is
a valuable
organizational tool to
help meet deadlines and to add structure and efficiency
to your work and the goals that you set for yourself. This
application allows you to organize and track tasks and
objectives, to assign them a level of priority, and to assign
up to five categories to each entry, making it possible to
access them in a variety of ways. To help you in this
effort, entries are automatically
categorized
by the unit as
TO BE DONE, DONE ENTRIES, or MONTHLY GOALS.
Entries in the
To Do
application contain eight fields:
Description, Due Date, Priority, and five fields for
categories. These categories, which you can define and
assign, can be used to manage tasks by project, the
personnel involved in them, etc.
The way in which
To Do
entries are displayed in the
Calendar
views will differ depending on the contents of
the Due Date field, as follows:
l
Entries with no due date are always shown on the
display for today’s date.
e
Entries with a full due date (month, day, and year) are
shown only on that date.
l
Entries for which only a month and year (no day) have
been entered appear in the monthly goals box in the
Monthly view.
This system provides the flexibility for an entry to be
displayed according to the type of task. For example, you
could enter a daily task, leaving the DUE DATE field
blank, and it would be displayed every day in that day’s
schedule; or for a long-term project, enter the month in
the DUE DATE field without a specific date and it will be
shown only in the Monthly view.
