You can also give todo items a deadline, if they have to be completed by +a certain time. +</para> + +<section><title>Adding Tasks</title> +<para> +Go to <GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>New Task<GUIMenuItem>, or click +on the new task icon (blank page). The priority drop down menu lets you select +the priority of the task. The lower the number, the more important it is. The +categories behave in much the same way that they do in Calendar, you can select +the category from the drop down menu, or you can click the "..." button to add, +delete, or edit categories. To give the task a due date, check the "Due" +checkbox, and then click the button next to it (it should contain the current +date). That will open a calendar from which you can select the due date. The +"Completed" check box is the same as the checkbox next to each item in the main +view. The "Summary" field is for a short summary that will be visible in the +main view, as well as in the Today application. The down arrow next to it will +copy the text in the "Summary" field into the large text field below it, which +is used for a more detailed description of the task. Click "ok" in the upper +right to add the new task, or "x" to close the window without adding the new +task. +</para> +</section> +<section><title>Editing Tasks</title> +<para> +To edit a task, you can select it, and then go to +<GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Edit +Task</GUIMenuItem>, or click the edit task icon (an image of a pencil). The same +dialog should apear as if you were adding a task, but the information for that +task should already be filled in. You can change any of it you want to, and then +click "ok" in the top right corner to save the changes, or "x" to go back to +the way it was. +</para> +</section> + +<section><title>Deleting Tasks</title> +<para> +To delete a task, first select it, and then either select +<GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow; +<GUIMenuItem>Delete...</GUIMenuItem> or press the Delete icon (an image of +a trash can). A dialog should pop up, asking if you want to delete the task, +click yes to delete it, or no to cancel. +</para> +</section> +<section><title>Finding Tasks</title> +<para> +To find a task, either go to +<GUIMenu>Options</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Find</GUIMenuItem> +, or click the find icon (an image of a green magnifying glass), and a dialog +should pop up. Enter the text you want to search for in the description, and +select the category that you want it to search through (this will speed the +search up, if you know what category it is in). You can also select "case +sensative" which makes the search pay attention to the case of what you type (so +if you look for "mow lawn", it won't find a task called "Mow lawn"). "Search +Backwards" will search backwards from the currently selected task. Click "Find" +to initiate the search, when it finds a task that matches the string, it will +select it. If you click Find again, it will find the next one in the list (or +the previous one, if "Search backwards" is selected). +</para> +</section> + +<section><title>Viewing Tasks</title> +<para> +To only view tasks filled under certain categories, go to the Category menu, and +check the categories you want to view. Also, under the Options menu, you can +select whether or not you want completed tasks to be visible, and whether or not +you want to see the deadline. +</para> +</section> + +<section><title>Completing Tasks</title> +<para> +To mark a task as completed without deleting it, you can either check the +checkbox next to it in the main view, or edit it, and check the "completed" +check box in the edit dialog. If <GUIMenu>Options</GUIMenu>&arrow; +<GUIMenuItem>Completed<GUIMenuItem> tasks is not checked, the task will +disapear when you mark it completed. but do not worry, it is not gone forever, +just check Completed tasks in the options menu, and you can see and edit it +again. +</para> +</section> +</chapter>
