Overview

The Task List shows the tasks that have been defined.

Tasks differ from events in that they do not have reminders, and their appearance changes when overdue.
The task list provides a quick and simple way of keeping track of tasks that need to be performed.
By default, tasks are sorted in ascending order based on their next due date. Tasks that have no due date will be at the top of the list.
Tasks can also be displayed in the Event List and Calendar View.

The task list with some example tasks shown.

Tasks display differently in the Task List based on the following factors:

If a task is overdue, it will display in bold red.
If a task is completed, it will be crossed out and displayed in gray. Completed tasks can be hidden by checking the "Hide completed tasks" option below the list. To mark a task as completed, use the checkbox to the left of the task description.
If a task is not completed or overdue, it will display in plain black.
Tasks that repeat will be displayed with an icon . When a repeating task is completed, the completed instance will be crossed out and displayed in gray, and a new instance for the next due date (which is calculated based on the last completion date) will be automatically created and added to the list.
