| 3 | Todo is designed for storing information about things you need to do, but which | ||
| 4 | arent going to happen at a specific time, like "change the oil" or "mow the | ||
| 5 | lawn". You can also give todo items a deadline, if they have to be completed by | ||
| 6 | a certain time. | ||

| 10 | <para> | ||
| 11 | Go to <GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>New Task<GUIMenuItem>, or click | ||
| 12 | on the new task icon (blank page). The priority drop down menu lets you select | ||
| 13 | the priority of the task. The lower the number, the more important it is. The | ||
| 14 | categories behave in much the same way that they do in Calendar, you can select | ||
| 15 | the category from the drop down menu, or you can click the "..." button to add, | ||
| 16 | delete, or edit categories. To give the task a due date, check the "Due" | ||
| 17 | checkbox, and then click the button next to it (it should contain the current | ||
| 18 | date). That will open a calendar from which you can select the due date. The | ||
| 19 | "Completed" check box is the same as the checkbox next to each item in the main | ||
| 20 | view. The "Summary" field is for a short summary that will be visible in the | ||
| 21 | main view, as well as in the Today application. The down arrow next to it will | ||
| 22 | copy the text in the "Summary" field into the large text field below it, which | ||
| 23 | is used for a more detailed description of the task. Click "ok" in the upper | ||
| 24 | right to add the new task, or "x" to close the window without adding the new | ||
| 25 | task. | ||
| 26 | </para> | ||

| 28 | <section><title>Editing Tasks</title> | ||
| 29 | <para> | ||
| 30 | To edit a task, you can select it, and then go to | ||
| 31 | <GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Edit | ||
| 32 | Task</GUIMenuItem>, or click the edit task icon (an image of a pencil). The same | ||
| 33 | dialog should apear as if you were adding a task, but the information for that | ||
| 34 | task should already be filled in. You can change any of it you want to, and then | ||
| 35 | click "ok" in the top right corner to save the changes, or "x" to go back to | ||
| 36 | the way it was. | ||
| 37 | </para> | ||

| 40 | <section><title>Deleting Tasks</title> | ||
| 41 | <para> | ||
| 42 | To delete a task, first select it, and then either select | ||
| 43 | <GUIMenu>Data</GUIMenu>&arrow; | ||
| 44 | <GUIMenuItem>Delete...</GUIMenuItem> or press the Delete icon (an image of | ||
| 45 | a trash can). A dialog should pop up, asking if you want to delete the task, | ||
| 46 | click yes to delete it, or no to cancel. | ||
| 47 | </para> | ||
| 48 | </section> | ||
| 49 | <section><title>Finding Tasks</title> | ||
| 50 | <para> | ||
| 51 | To find a task, either go to | ||
| 52 | <GUIMenu>Options</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Find</GUIMenuItem> | ||
| 53 | , or click the find icon (an image of a green magnifying glass), and a dialog | ||
| 54 | should pop up. Enter the text you want to search for in the description, and | ||
| 55 | select the category that you want it to search through (this will speed the | ||
| 56 | search up, if you know what category it is in). You can also select "case | ||
| 57 | sensative" which makes the search pay attention to the case of what you type (so | ||
| 58 | if you look for "mow lawn", it won't find a task called "Mow lawn"). "Search | ||
| 59 | Backwards" will search backwards from the currently selected task. Click "Find" | ||
| 60 | to initiate the search, when it finds a task that matches the string, it will | ||
| 61 | select it. If you click Find again, it will find the next one in the list (or | ||
| 62 | the previous one, if "Search backwards" is selected). | ||

| 66 | <section><title>Viewing Tasks</title> | ||
| 67 | <para> | ||
| 68 | To only view tasks filled under certain categories, go to the Category menu, and | ||
| 69 | check the categories you want to view. Also, under the Options menu, you can | ||
| 70 | select whether or not you want completed tasks to be visible, and whether or not | ||
| 71 | you want to see the deadline. | ||

| 75 | <section><title>Completing Tasks</title> | ||
| 76 | <para> | ||
| 77 | To mark a task as completed without deleting it, you can either check the | ||
| 78 | checkbox next to it in the main view, or edit it, and check the "completed" | ||
| 79 | check box in the edit dialog. If <GUIMenu>Options</GUIMenu>&arrow; | ||
| 80 | <GUIMenuItem>Completed<GUIMenuItem> tasks is not checked, the task will | ||
| 81 | disapear when you mark it completed. but do not worry, it is not gone forever, | ||
| 82 | just check Completed tasks in the options menu, and you can see and edit it | ||
| 83 | again. | ||
