6.3 Using Tasks
Use Tasks to keep track of things you need to do. A task can occur once or repeatedly
(recurring). You can set reminders for your tasks and you can organize them by using
categories.
Your tasks are displayed in a task list. Overdue tasks are displayed in red.
If you use Outlook on your PC, you can synchronize tasks between the device and PC so
that tasks you create or update on your PC will also be updated on the device and vice versa.
NOTE: To quickly see the number of active tasks you have, select Start > Today. If the Tasks
item is enabled, you will see the number of active tasks listed on the Today screen.
To enable Tasks on the Today screen, select Start > Settings > Today > Items tab.
Creating a Task
1. Select Start > Programs > Tasks.
2. Do one of the following:
Select the box labeled select here to add a new task, enter the task name and
•
press the jog ball.
Select Menu > New Task and then enter details about the new task.
•
NOTE: You can synchronize information on your phone with your PC to keep your task list up to
date in both locations.
If you create a new task with a reminder on your PC and then synchronize tasks with your phone,
the reminder will play at the time it was set on your PC.
You can assign a category to a task or create a new category for it. When editing a task, select
Categories > New and then give the new category a name. Select Done and the new category
will appear in the list.
