Hi, ThinMan. The outline view and the various to-do list views are all drawn from the tasks in your profile, but they are just views. You don't have to use any particular view.
The outline view is different because it shown the hierarchical structure of your tasks. I think maybe what you really want to know is whether you can create a profile that contains just a flat list of tasks with no hierarchy. The answer is yes absolutely. Most MLO users find that sorting tasks into folders helps us manage our tasks, dividing them into current versus future tasks, separating work from personal, setting aside tasks that are low priority but shouldn't be lost, etc. If you don't need any of that, you can certainly just create a profile that contains a flat list of tasks. -Dwight From: mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com [mailto:mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of ThinMan Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2012 11:56 PM To: mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com Subject: [MLO] Beginner's question: I just downloaded MLO to trial it. Do I understand correctly that the to-do list is (only) created automatically from data in the outline? More specifically, can one instead, just create a To-Do list without an outline behind it?
