Creating a Task
The first thing we can try is actually creating a task... Lets
say that the task we want to create is:
- Download photos from my camera.
- We want to finish doing this by tomorrow night.
- It will take about 10 minutes.
- It is fairly important (because we want to send the photos to
the family).
Step 1 - Create the task
Now we can create a new task in this folder.
- Press the
button on the toolbar.
- The app will open a window that lets you select what you are
going to add.
- 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).
- In the "Title" field, type "Download photos from my camera".
This is what will show up in the tree view for this task.
- In the "Priority" field, type 70. Priority values are between
0 and 100, so 70 means fairly important.
- In the "Duration" field, type "0:10" (which means 0 hours 10
minutes).
- Leave the "Start After" field blank.
- In the "Due Date" field, type "Tomorrow 9:00PM". This means
that we want to finish this task before 9PM tomorrow night.
- 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).
