Posted Jan 18, 2016 in: How to complete tasks (world's worst designed command menu?)
Score: 0
Oh Christ finally found the down arrow inside a circle on the left which offers Delete this task among other things.
Amazing that no one mentioned this! |

OK found it. The Repeat heading wih no cursor label to explain 'click to choose' expands for each list item to offer the choice of none or repeat daily weekly etc. In fact every item on the array of items for the table as a whole expands with a click to offer choices. Excellent! What a pity it doesn't say so with a response to the cursor over it, to say it needs clicking. Who knew!? But it's perfect.

Thanks again Jake the eye rules for sure!` Not only the answer but a key to why all are so into Toodledo once they master it, a secret door into the Aladdin's cave of delights waiting for expert users of Toodledo. It matches exactly the wit and laid back, disarming confidence of the site's engagingly cute title, a big attraction in itself.
The only thing is, how do I set Repeating on or off? I have cursored over every icon I can see and nothing shows that. Maybe there is some list of what icons mean that I can access somewhere? I need access to this secret society! The picture of the subscriber top right oddly releases a thicket of many options but not Repeat Tasks. Apparently free Toddledo wipes out completed tasks within a week, which seems even more of a spur to letting go of the past than the six months leeway it said elsewhere.

Thanks Jake and all for the sensible suggestions that I tick the box. Of course I did tick the box opposite a completed task. It did nothing to label it completed in the full list. What should I do to label it as completed and have it show up in a list of completed and uncompleted tasks as completed? The Recently Completed tasks list just shows it alone though in multiple repeats, actually four, because I have tried four times to get it to list as completed in the full task list.
Love the way any criticism of the set up results in mass confusion and hiding of my posts. A little bit like the Mad Hatters tea party (in Alice in Wonderland, the greatest children's book for grownups ever written). The eye is the answer it seems. Thanks Jake. Love the eye! Incentive to explore what else Toodledo offers, raising hope that hidden behind the baffling array of options are more delightful commands to enhance the sad record of how little has been achieved in my past six months!

Obviously I am complaining that checkboxes have not worked for me. I need a checkbox that notes a task is completed and shows it in the listing somehow, which it doesn't appear to do. A LABELING. How do I get a task completed label in the listing? Why is my display missing that, the most obvious requirement in any to do list?
Thanks to the nitwits who added too much blather to read and then hid my question as too "negative". Truth hurts? I stick to my guns. This is undoubtedly the worst menu tree ever. But not course to those who have learned it carefully. I am talking about people who come to use it as a time saver and find the display and menu tree is a mess. Make the lists simple and clear and the commands likewise for newcomers or die on the vine. No one with a normally crowded life has time to pore over a poorly laid out to do list regardless how much the expert usrs love it. How do you think Google prevailed in the early days?

How does one mark a task is completed? How? This most elementary notation command is invisible to a newcomer even in the FAQ's long and un-ordered list, which only warns the completed tasks will disappear in six months (not very friendly indeed, and frankly good reason to distrust this site that its staff imagines the relevance of listing completed tasks ends after six months! Are they trying to save memory or force a subscription payment? How much memory does it use to retain text entries?)
Without doubt this is the worst menu tree I have ever seen. Opaque to even this utterly simple and common need. Yet the purpose of the site is to organize! Suggest you guys hire a journalist to give you advice. So simple - that's their job to make things clear. They come cheap too! How to complete tasks in list without making them vanish? Baffling. Where the blazes is the menu tree anyway? Invisible! Cheers This post has been hidden because of negative votes. Click to reveal This message was edited Jan 08, 2016. |
