Thanks for contacting us. Contexts and Tags can be assigned to a task when you create or modify the tasks. Later when using Todo, you can select a context and see all of the tasks associated with that context. The context will filter the tasks in both the lists view and the tasks view. Contexts are commonly used for locations or modes of work. For example, I may have a context called "Errands". I may have errands that belong to various lists but when I go to run errands, I can select the Errands Context and now all my tasks are limited to those assigned to the Errands Context.
Tags work very similar but you can assign multiple tags to a task. They provide a keyword tagging mechanism for tasks. There is no set way to use tags, many people use them differently. You can filter down the visible tasks by selecting tags from the toolbar. If you select more than one tag, only tasks that have all chosen tags assigned will be shown. An example for tags is you might have a "Work" tag and also "Project" and "Sales" tags. You would place the Work tag on all work related tasks but add Project to the tasks specific to a project and Sales to tasks specific to sales. Then you could choose to see all work tasks, and filter them additionally by selecting the "Work" or "Sales" tags. I hope that helps explain them a bit better. Let us know if it does not. -The Appigo Team -- Appigo Support [email protected] Learn more about Todo (task management made simple), Notebook (notes available everywhere), and AccuFuel (fuel efficiency tracker) on Appigo's website: http://www.appigo.com/ Follow the latest from Appigo on Facebook: http://www.tinyurl.com/appigo-fb Follow the latest from Appigo on Twitter: http://twitter.com/appigo Participate with Appigo and our community using the following Google groups: http://groups.google.com/group/appigo-todo/ http://groups.google.com/group/appigo-notebook/ http://groups.google.com/group/appigo-accufuel/ On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 8:39 PM, Platinum <[email protected]> wrote: > > Any help? > > > On Jul 8, 10:05 pm, Platinum <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey, just bought the app and it looks great so far.
