aufgabenliste_gruppierung

You can group by category and additionally choose a second group option, for example "Project".

Use the next button to filter for a certain status of the task:

aufgabenliste_filtern

You can decide what tasks are displayed in your task list. In our example we've filtered for "Pending" tasks. New tasks, that have not been opened and read will be in the filter "Unread" and are listed in bold fonts in your task list.

If you use categories for your tasks, you can assign every task to one of the categories. This way you can organize your task list much better. You get quick access to task, that for example need "To be done at home", or "To be done in the train" or "To be done in the office". You can filter for those categories and immediately start working.
