Hi, Michael. Good questions.
1. Unfortunately you cannot create a repeating task that has no due date. But what you could do is to put all of this kind of task into the same top level folder or assign them the same context and then exclude that folder or context from the views you use to manage your workflow. 2. You don’t really need to make a distinction between views and workspaces, and a lot of users seem to treat them as synonymous. But since you asked, a view is a collection of filters, sort and grouping specs, etc. A workspace is a page that displays a view, is accessible via a tab, and has a particular record selected as current. You can change what view is in a workspace. You can name a workspace a different name from the view name if you want. You can have one view displayed in more than one workspace. For example, you can have two workspaces displaying the “all tasks” outline view, one positioned at your inbox and the other positioned at your “today” folder and you can flip back and forth between them using Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab. You can modify a view in one workspace and (as long as you don’t save the modified view) still see the original in another workspace. -Dwight From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Mroczka Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 12:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MLO] Due Dates & Workspaces Two big questions I have are these: 1) I have tv series that I'm watching called "Suits". A new episode comes out weekly on thursdays so I have it set as a reoccurring task that happens on thursdays. The goal is to be able to look at the general project "Leisure Media Activities" and at a glance see what is available to do. I want to know if I have 4 episodes that are new vs. one episode that is new vs. no episodes. It works great and will weekly recur and I can just quickly count the number of "New Suits Episode!" tasks that there are. The problem lies in the fact that they are marked as OVERDUE and it's screwing up my workflow. I want them to have a reoccurring start date, but NO due date. Is this possible? 2) Workspaces Vs. Views. What the hell is the difference between these? Can anyone give me a practical example of how they use the two different features? What is a good use for them and how are they different? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
