Hi, Grant. I believe that you are discussing the configuration and adjustment of computed-score. Disclosure: I don't use computed score any more, it was too complicated to try to make it do what I wanted.
I am working from memory and may not have this 100% right, but it should give you a clue. Like so many aspects of MLO, blank Due Dates mean different things for different people. For some of us, it means that there is no particular date after which this particular task cannot be completed. There is no deadline. For other users, a blank date translates to NOW, meaning get on it or this will be overdue right away. I am in the first group where blank-no deadline. I know that a lot of other users are also in that group, maybe most of us, maybe even all of us. Computed Score is optimized for the second group, the blank = deadline is NOW. If someone from the first group uses Computed-Score, then all of the tasks with no due date become urgent because the due date has arrived. Anything that has a due date later than today is less urgent and comes later. There was a suggestion a few years ago to create a user setting that would select blank=now versus blank=far future. It did not go anywhere. My suggestion would be to change your sort sequence and don't use computed-score. Sort on due date first, then start date, then importance or maybe starred. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
