Tasks Page
Time Period Page
If you choose a specific time period page, such as Inbox, Today, Upcoming, or Log, the Tasks page will display tasks based on that selected time period. For example:
- Inbox: This view shows tasks that do not have a specific date assigned to them. It acts as a central hub for capturing tasks, ideas, or thoughts without immediate deadlines.
- Today: When you select the Today page, it displays tasks that are scheduled for the current day. It helps you prioritize and focus on tasks that need to be completed today.
- Upcoming: The Upcoming page shows tasks scheduled for future dates. You can navigate to different dates to view tasks for specific days in the future.
- Log: On the Log page, you can review a chronological list of completed tasks, categorized by their completion dates. This allows you to track your progress and review past accomplishments.
Project Page
-
If you select a specific project from the Home Page, the page will display all tasks associated with that project, regardless of their dates. This view enables you to focus on tasks related to a specific project and monitor their progress. Completed tasks are not shown within the Tasks Page to maintain focus on ongoing tasks.
