Title: Using Calendar Post by spdas on 10/13/09 at 18:09:45 Aloha all, I have a few questions on what am I doing wrong in setting up my calendar. 1: using calendar as a "to-do" and mark done when finished and hopefully will not appear on the next day cause it is "DONE". First the calendar has a title of "Finish date" not To-Do and to-do is not a folder in Ecco. I have put several items into the Calendar "finish DAte" and I cannot edit the name to "To-Do" How to rename or correct? 2: Where do I put "Done" to delete the info for future days in the current "to-do" Calendar? Use the word Done or put a date? And what folder do I send the old info to? (Make a "Completed folder") I have been reading the manual, but got these stumbling blocks. thanks Francis |
Title: Re: Using Calendar Post by Admin on 10/14/09 at 07:57:49 good questions. Concept 1: One type of "Folder" is a 'Date' folder. You can name the folder(s) anything, but if they are date folders they can do special 'date' stuff. 1. A date folder value with Date and Time shows up in the 'appointments' side of the calendar view (which can be side by side or top/bottom). 2. A date folder (or any specific item assigned) can be set to show up on the 'tickler' side of the calendar view, OR NOT. View > Folder Window (or click on arrow at bottom left of ecco window) to open folder pane. Right click on a folder or Alt + L for folder options. "Properties" on date folder shows options... Show in Tickler Section ? How soon before setting? How long to 'Care Forward' after setting. NOTE HERE IS KEY---> UNTIL MARKED DONE will show item until it is marked done!! ... other options also... NOTE: Can also use Tools > Filter View to create (and then have active) a filter that "Done" has no value... will hide all 'done' items... (but not best approach... for most purposes... as hides recurring events even if done only on 1 recurrence...). note: neat tool (TaskMaster) which allows setting a series of steps ... one to start when the prior is marked done.. |

right click on folder and can "Merge folder values" into the folder you desire... double click on folder & see ALL items assigned .... easy to manually fix in column... (drag folder to add column... easy to update). |

--> ctrl + M marked done... (or right click and check done). no need to 'send' old info unless you want to. create 'history' folder to 'move' items into if desired. |
