![]() Or I can associate more projects to this task. However, I can also add a contact and/or a category to it if I wish. I created my task under Project -> Work -> Forum Support therefore you see that “Forum Support” is automatically the project that is assigned to this task. After you type in a title, double click on the task to open up the ‘properties’ of that task: There is no character limit on how long the title can be, but there is a visible space limit, so you will only see a part of the title if it is too long. Both will lead to the creation of a new task – a new task will be added to the list:Īs the screenshot says, you must type in a title after you create a new task, otherwise no new task will be created. Right click on the area where the tasks are displayed, go to “New” then “Create Task”: Now to add a new task, just navigate to the specific category, project, contact or date on the calendar you want to associate the task with. The same method is followed with projects, contacts and calendar. All the tasks under each category will be displayed. If you click on “Work/Business” then the tabs will change to “Work/Business” and “Personal”. The tabs you see, that list “Web Design”, “Support” etc. The above is a screenshot of categories, but it is the same for contacts, projects and calendar. Right clicking will allow you to add a new entry (new project, calender date, new category, new contact) under that specific ‘subgroup’.įrom here you get to view all your tasks, edit them, add new ones, etc. Same thing if you had project, or category, or contacts – clicking on an entry in the navigator displays the tasks associated with that entry in the “Tasks” panel. If you click on “Two Weeks” or “Today”, or any of the entries below that, in your “Tasks” panel (which we will discuss next) the tasks associated with that date will be shown. In the above screenshot you see “Calendar”. Just click on the specific thing you are interested in and you it will be shown. There are two main panels of the program window that we are going to deal with: navigator and tasks.įrom here you can navigate from projects to categories to contacts to calendar. You can also assign a specific date and time to each task which will then show the task in the calender. For every single task you can assign a specific project, category and contact that it is associated with. With contacts, you add a new contact then add tasks that you can associate with that contact. For example, you create a new project, and then you have the ability to create tasks and place them under that certain project. Within each ‘subgroup’ you can add specific tasks. “Projects”, “Categories” (by default you see “Categories” when you first run the program) and “Contacts” can all be considered ‘subgroups’. So lets first start off by explaining a few things. If you are overwhelmed initially by the program, no worries, I was too. Okay so this is what the program looks like: All what I just said is probably a bit confusing (I know if I was reading it I would be confused) but don’t worry – I will explain it in more detail…w/ screenshots of course. You can also specify ‘filters’ that allow you to view tasks that fulfill your designated criteria. You have the ability to link each task to a project, a category, a person, etc. LeaderTask is a very nice PIM that allows you to categorize and sort all desired tasks. I must say that LeaderTask has impressed me. Be sure to close the program from the system tray – it will most likely be sitting there. Also after you run activate_leadertask.ltkey, it will tell you to restart the program. If you are having problems registering it, be sure to try both ways (put into the program folder then run activate_leadertask.ltkey). Well for me, on Vista, moving it into the folder did not work so I had to run it. Some reliable posters, like reghakr, say that just moving it into the folder works also. In order to activate your copy of the software you should run activate_leadertask.tkey included in the downloaded archive. As I stated on GOTD comments, the readme clearly states: Registration and installation was not a problem. But the extended features and interconnectedness of LeaderTask actually work against it in this category – many of us would do just fine with a simple to do list and calender. Usually I give PIMs a 10 because in today’s busy world most of us can use them.
