[MLO] Re: A piece of advice on tasks
Hi All, I'm using Contexts for people I assign tasks for. I've deleted all the Contexts I don't use (I don't use them...) and created Contexts with people's names.

[MLO] Re: A piece of advice on tasks
Hi Aiman, For your need I used to add a dependency task, I mean the task that need to be completed will dependent of specific task. For that, got to Dependencies section in the task properties panel and add the apropriate tasks. On the Delay field set the time for it to wait and, as soon as you tick the task from which the main depends upon the main task will not appear until that time comes. So, it will appear on your to-do list. Another method is to assign a specific context to it and filter it according to that in a separate tab (but not necessary) if you want. BR.

[MLO] Re: A piece of advice on tasks
Hello Aiman, When I delegate a task or I'm waiting for input from someone, I set the context to "?Waiting" and I put the person's name at the top of my task notes, with a ? tag for example: ?Joe Smith. That way, when I'm talking to Joe Smith about something, I can quickly search my outline for "?Joe", to remind myself what other tasks are waiting from inputs from him.

Hi, For me to deal with those aborted task meanwhile not to delete it, I will use "Hide the branch in To-do" or Alt+E and leave a remark in the note section remind me why I do not complete the task. These tasks will be grey out and remain in the task structure. ^^ Regards, LEW On Friday, 13 April 2018 14:14:18 UTC+8, alex.y...@gmail.com wrote: > > When dealing with different tasks in MLO, I often encounter situations > where I need to abort the task. > > For example, the project is based on daily operations and I've created a > list of tasks named "Jan.1" "Jan.2" etc. Sometimes I need to cross the > single task but not delete it, and later carry out the next day's > operations. > > So I believe it would be nice for MLO to add an option to cross a task off. > > What's your opinion on this matter?

[MLO] Re: A piece of advice on tasks
This is a very good discussion! Any advice on how do you deal with "Waiting for customer input"? I deal with a lot of tasks/projects, and a lot of the times, I have to wait for a response which can take days or weeks (and I don't have control). I struggle when I try to manage these in MLO.

For that purpose, I use to add a subtask to the task, so that it becames unactive. I give that subtask a "waiting for" context.

[MLO] Re: A piece of advice on tasks
I agree that it is important to be able to record a task as not done / aborted / superseded. Not many task managers have an easy way of doing that. The way I do it in MLO is to have a category "-Superseded", which I set when I check the task off. I have an autoformatting rule to set a little, red "X" icon in icon position 0, right next to the checkmark.
