A to-do list allows you to create a list of prioritised tasks that need to be completed by specific dates.
To add a to-do list to the desktop:
- Select the “Add Item” option from the Sharetops main menu. This will open up the “Add new Desktop Item” dialog
- From “Add new Desktop Item” dialog select the “To Do List” type then press the “Add” button
- Enter the title and description of the to-do list into the “Add New To Do List” dialog that pops up then click the Create button
- An icon that represents your to-do list will now appear on the desktop
- Double click the new icon to open up your new to-do list
Once created and opened your to-do list will resemble something like the image shown below:
As you can see from the above image, tasks are listed in a grid format containing a priority, the task title, the date that the task needs to be completed by and a completed marker. By clicking the column headers you can sort the tasks to suit your needs.
Note that the completion date set in the “Complete By” column is colour coded to notify you of the status of each task. A red coloured task indicates that you are late with the task whilst a grey coloured task indicates that you have completed the task.
To add a new task to the task list simply click the “Add New” button that is situated to the bottom left of the window
To change the “Complete By” date, double click the date then select the small calendar icon that appears next to the date; a date selector will pop open, now select the required completion date by clicking on a day in the calendar.
To remove tasks from the to-do list simply click on the red delete button that is situated in the column to the left of the priority column.
