Creating list items
A To Do List item is a reminder of some task that you have to complete. A record 
in To Do List is called an item.
To create a To Do List item:
1.Do one of the following:
–Tap New.
– If no To Do List item is currently selected, begin typing.
2.Enter the text of the To Do List item. The text can be longer than one line.

Setting priority
You can use priority setting for items to arrange the tasks in your To Do List 
according to their importance or urgency. The default setting for the To Do List is 
to arrange items by priority and due date, with priority 1 items at the top. If you 
have a number of items in your list, changing an item’s priority setting may move 
its position in the list. 
When you create a new To Do List item, its priority is automatically set to level 1, 
the highest (most important) level. If you select another item first, however, the 
item you create appears beneath the selected item and is given the same priority as 
the selected item.
