Item Tab

Item Tab

This tab allows the user to view and modify the main fields on a single To Do item.

See Navigation Tools or the List Tab for instructions on how to navigate to a particular item on this tab.

The View Tab will allow you to change the sort sequence and filtering criteria for the list of To Do items, which will alter the sequence and selection of items that may appear on the Item Tab.

See the File descriptions for definitions of the Fields visible on the Item Tab.

The following controls appear on this screen.

Category
You may select an existing category from the drop-down list, or type in a new one being used for the first time. Multiple category levels can be separated by a forward slash ('/') or a period ('.'). Spaces before or after the punctuation characters are optional. However, after you enter your data, Two Due will standardize your entry by converting slashes to periods and removing surrounding spaces.
Title
Simply type the desired text into this area.
Due Date Status Icon
If the due date is in the past, and the item is still open, then a red diamond will appear. If the item is due today, then a blue equals sign will appear. If the item is due tomorrow, then a green plus sign will appear. These icons are intended to highlight items that need action now or in the near future.
Due Date
This is the date on which the item is due to be completed. This field defaults to 12/01/2050, which is displayed as "N/A". If an item does not have a particular due date, then leave it set to this default value, and all such items can then be sorted by Priority (see the View tab). The Due Date is displayed within a button. Click on the button to change the date. When you click on the date, then a dialog box will appear. Use the fields in the dialog box to modify the date.
Status
Use the drop-down menu to select the desired status. If you cancel or close this item, and a recurrence interval is defined for this item on the Recurs Tab, then a new item will be added behind the scenes, identical to this one, except that its status will be open, and its due date will have been incremented by the recurrence interval.
Priority
Use the slider to set the Priority to a value between 1 and 5, where 1 is considered top priority.
Assigned To
Use the drop-down menu to select someone to whom this task is assigned, or type a new name into the text box.
Sequence
Enter text directly into the Sequence field. This field can be selected as a sort field on the View tab, and can be used for a software version number, or other sequencing field.
Description
Enter a long description of this item directly into this multi-line, scrolling text field.
Outcome
Enter the outcome, or resolution, of this item directly into this multi-line, scrolling text field.
Web URL Button
Pressing this button will allow you to select a file that you want to be associated with this item. The path to the file will be placed in the following text field. The Launch Command will subsequently cause the selected file to be launched via your Web browser (which will usually cause the selected file to be opened in an appropriate application).
Web URL Text Field
Paste a URL from your Web browser into this field in order to associate the Web page with this To Do item. The Launch Command will then cause this page/file to be opened in your Web browser.
