Lists and things to do
You can use a “to-do list” to note down tasks or
items you want to remember. Initially you have two
to-do lists, but you can add more lists.
You can give each entry on a to-do list a due date,
and assign priorities to entries to control the order
they appear in the Agenda views.
To-do entries are marked with a circled ‘T’ symbol
( 
 ).
Adding a to-do
To create a to-do entry:1.Move to the To-do view and just start typing, or
use Create new entry from the Entry menu.
2.Type in the details of the to-do, e.g. ‘Buy paper’.
The “Priority” can be used to determine the
order in which to-do entries are listed in the to-
do list (priority 1 is highest).
3.If the to-do entry has a deadline, tap the Alarm/
More button and tick the Dated box. Set Due
date to the deadline date , and set up warnings
as appropriate. You can set how due dates are
shown, e.g. Date, Days or Auto (date, days and
‘tomorrow’) if you want to see when the to-do is
due.
