Tim, What I think I would do in this case, is enter it as a General To Do item, but to make that list more useful, is start the "Task Needing to be Done" with the last name WILLIS - so it can be sorted by task. Then if you are working on a line, you can look at all the general to-dos to see what mi

I use the category so that my To Do lists are organised for the one resource for a particular library. I sort by category. eg if I go to the Battye Library in Perth, I may want to look at Newspapers or Electoral Rolls or Marriage Indexes or ... If I have Newspaper as a category, I can work with

Hi Valerie, I'm about to get organised for a trip as well. In fact I'd already decided I must stop putting it off and make a beginning today. I've found it useful in the past to be able to print To Dos according to the Locality of the Research. So I've used the Locality field in the To Do fo

Hi Elizabeth, "The To Do List has been mentioned many times since I've joined the list. I'd like to hear how you are using it. Do you make a list as soon as you enter an individual? Do you have lists for the file in general? Do you check your list every time you open your file?" I use my To

I use it when I run a Potential Problems report. Some things can be fixed on the fly but if not I transfer the item to the To-Do list. Anything that comes to mind as I'm working goes in the To-Do list. The only problem I have with it is remembering it's there. However, it shows up under the
