In older versions of Organise, this was called the To Do list. You can use this section in a number of ways:
- To keep a To Do list
- To create standard units of your time which you can pull onto an order and then an invoice, eg "one hour's labour"
- To track the time that you have spent on a particular order, again for pulling through onto the Order and the invoice
- To create reminders or alarms
- All of the above!
In all cases, use the New Task button to create a new item.
To Do List
In this case, the Show all / Incomplete filter can hide any items you've checked off.
Tracking time
If you are using this list to create general units of time (eg an hour's labour), see Items Ordered for details of how to pull these items through onto the Order and invoices.
v8 adds some powerful time logging functionality. Time > Start logging from the menu, or the new toolbar buttons will start to log time, optionally against a new or existing order. Organise will add the time to the order, and look after the start and end times, rate for the time and total charge.
You can edit the values on the order, the defaults for your rate (how much you charge per hour or day) is in Preferences > General
Reminders / Alarms
If you'd like an alarm or reminder when this item's end date and time pass, simply check the Alarm when end date/time reached checkbox.
