Introducing Steps in Microsoft To-Do
Hi Keturah Cummings ,
Among the suggestions from others, my top "wish list" for the steps in To Do would be;
- DATES for steps
- EXPANDED view
- The ability to view the individual steps for each task when viewing an entire list of tasks
- Expand/collapse step view?
- The ability to view the individual steps for each task when viewing an entire list of tasks
Perhaps it is already there, but I have not found it.
Thanks, Dean
I would like to view the steps of my task in such a view...
I think adding dates for the steps will move from To Do from a relatively simple and simple to use task list to a more complicated project tracking tool- and there are other tools for that How about instead creating the ability to promote steps to tasks when desired - with some link back to the parent task - this doesn't change the basic architecture in that all that are tracked are tasks, and honors the GTD model of elevating the next action by promoting the "next" step to a task. Don't turn this into a full project system - ala outlook tasks, which have sooo many fields and dont replicate MS Project. Keep it simple, quick and intuitive.
I agree this option would be appealing and useful.
And, please include the ability to re-order the Steps. That would allow users to jot down the steps quickly and then determine the best sequence, or adjust the sequence as they got into the To Do
djcrane This current version of To Do does allow you to reorder the steps - although there is no visual indication that this is possible. Just click on a step and move it up or down as required
