Using the MGT Agenda and Tasks Components in your solutions – 3 components reviewed – Agenda, Planner Tasks, and To-Do tasks. Agenda – listing of future events in your calendar – specify event order, by day of week, number events, number days, by reference time zone and customized rendering. Planner Tasks – see tasks assigned to you from multiple projects. Essentially manage Planner tasks (add, delete, modify) without having to launch Planner App. Finally in To-do – access my Reading List, add/delete readings.
