Creating a Task

The first thing we can try is actually creating a task... Lets say that the task we want to create is:

Step 1 - Create the task

Now we can create a new task in this folder.

  1. Press the Add button on the toolbar.
  2. The app will open a window that lets you select what you are going to add.
  3. Select "One off Tasks"

A form should now pop up where we can fill in the task details.

Step 1 - Fill in the Details

Now we fill in the task details (based on what we said about the task at the top of the page).

  1. In the "Title" field, type "Download photos from my camera". This is what will show up in the tree view for this task.
  2. In the "Priority" field, type 70. Priority values are between 0 and 100, so 70 means fairly important.
  3. In the "Duration" field, type "0:10" (which means 0 hours 10 minutes).
  4. Leave the "Start After" field blank.
  5. In the "Due Date" field, type "Tomorrow 9:00PM". This means that we want to finish this task before 9PM tomorrow night.
  6. Press the "OK" button.

Step 4 - Done

OK - So you have created a task... See if you can find your task in the tree view.   You should be able to find it by expanding "Tasks", then under that "One-Off Tasks"

We will look at what we can do with this task a bit later (once we have an appointment set up).
