Hi.

 

You probably got an answer to this already.  Admittedly I’m super busy to read 
your whole email but from what I skimmed it sounds like you want to create a 
flag for the status you describe (and others) and then create a custom view 
using the “Advanced filter”.

 

HTH.

Subject: [MLO] Please help me organise MLO!

 

Hi guys,

 

I’m hoping you can help me.

 

I’m about to subscribe to a pro version for Windows and also subscribe on my 
phone. I manage a company of 25 people so I’m hoping this will help me push all 
of our projects forward. 

 

I’ve watched the videos and read the whole manual but, unless I’m being dim, I 
cannot see how I would mark a task/sub-task as ‘waiting on PERSON-ABC’, where 
PERSON-ABC would be one of my employees.

 

What I want is three different views:

1.   shows me all of the tasks, in their hierarchies – this is already 
catered for in Outline

2.   shows me all of my active tasks – i.e. things I can go and do right 
now – which is catered for in Active Tasks

3.   show me all tasks that don’t require action from me, but that I need 
to keep an eye on and ask ‘has this been done yet? - which is catered for by 
telling me to review an action every 3 days, say. 

 

I don’t want views 2 and 3 to be in the same place because I have circa 100 
tasks to track at any one time, but only 10 of those are things I’m going to be 
doing. 

 

The problem is that when I mark a task as requiring as review it does not 
remove it from active tasks, which means even though this task is being done by 
Person-ABC it is appearing as a task for me to complete.

 

CAn anyone help me with this please?

 

Thanks,

David

Hi David

There will usually be several ways of doing almost anything you can think
of in MLO.   I only half understand your requirements but try:

A. Creating a dedicated folder at bottom of your list of all tasks for '3.'
and then moving the relevant tasks into it.

B. If you want to focus on specific task you could try
- making each one bold (Control/B)  or
- making each one highlighted (Control/H)
- giving each one a Star (Control/Shift/S)
If you use a Star you can filter on just them using the "Active Starred"
view

C. I don't use the review feature myself but if it helps, one way to make
things disappear on a temporary basis is to move it's start date into the
future (e.g. to move a task 5 days into the future, type: Alt/S 5 D)

D. Regarding getting specific people involved, I suggest creating a Context
with that person's name or initials.

Hope at least some of the above help  :)
