Using the Task List Table
Choosing visible columns/Sorting/Editing
Tasks have many properties, and by default only a few of
these properties are shown in the task list table. You can set
the sorting column by simply clicking on a table header.
Clicking repeatedly will reverse the sort order and turn off the
sorting.
Use F2 to start editing a cell. Note that you can also reorder columns
by dragging
them around. You can also change the visible columns by clicking the
little icon (
) which
appears to the right of the table headers,
straight above the vertical scrollbar (see image below). You may select
multiple tasks and change some properties of the selected tasks at
once. The view also remembers selected tasks and scrollbar positions.
Different icons are used for undone (
) and done (
) tasks.
The same icons are used in
the editor if a line is associated with the task.
Available columns:
- Summary - Summary for
the task.
