Lists and things to do

You can use a “to-do list” to note down tasks or items you want to remember. Initially you have two to-do lists, and you can add more lists later.

You can also give each item on a to-do list a due date, and assign priorities to to-do entries to control the order they appear in the Agenda views.

To-do entries are marked with a circled ‘T’ symbol ( ).

Adding a to-do

1.Move to the To-do view and just start typing, or create a new to-do entry using the command from the Entry menu.

2.Type in the details of the to-do, e.g. ‘Buy paper’. The “Priority” can be used to determine the order in which to- do entries are listed in the to-do list, priority 1 is highest.

3.If the to-do entry has a deadline, press the Alarm/More button and tick the ‘Dated’ box. Then set the due date to the deadline date. If you want advanced warning of the deadline, set up warnings as appropriate. You can set how due dates are shown, e.g. Date, Days or Auto (date, days and ‘tomorrow’) if you want to see when the to-do is due.
