Today we wanted to touch (no pun intended – well, maybe a little) on how to utilize tasks in iOS. (not iOS7, we’ll get to that once iOS7 is officially released. Patience, iphone lovers!)
Open Touchdown and Tap the Tasks button.
There are several functions, such as Sort, Filter and Search that I find really critical.
SORT allows you to sort Tasks in the list by:
Subject, Start Date, Due Date or Importance, in either Ascending or descending order.
FILTER
helps you organize your Task list. You can filter by Folder, Category or status such as pending, complete, Overdue or Due today. I like to have mine set for “due in the next seven days” so I have an overview of all the things I have to get done this week. There are many more options such as “Today AND Overdue Tasks,” etc. You can totally nerd out on this little detail to make it work for your needs.
SEARCHING FOR TASKS
Open Tasks & pull down on the Tasks bar.
Type in your search criteria.
The best matches for your search criteria will appear below the search bar. Oila!
(To search for Tasks in other folders, Tap the Tasks button, enter search criteria and click search.)
CREATING A NEW TASK
Open TouchDown and Tap the Tasks button.
Tap the New button and fill in your info!
Pretty nifty. Task away! (Im off to write in more tasks…)
