3 Due Dates and Alarms

Each item can be given a due date. From the item detail form, press the button next to “Due date” to bring up a list of the next eight days (from today until next week.)

Default_due_dates

If you need to set a due date more than a week later, press “Choose Date...” which will bring up a calendar view. From there you can select the year, month, and day.

Calendar_picker

To remove the due date, press the button next to “Due date” and then select “None” from the list.

If you have enabled “Show due dates” in the application settings (see section Changing How Items Are Listed) then you can also set the due date of an item by pressing the dash or previously set date to the right of the item.

Listed_due_dates

You can optionally hide an item that has a due date until that date approaches. After selecting the due date in the item details form, a new button will appear labeled “Hide until.” Press this button to bring up another form where you can enable or disable hiding the record, and specify how many days before the due date to reveal it.

Hide_dialog

Hidden records will still be displayed if you have selected “Show completed and hidden tasks” in the application settings.

Items that have a due date may optionally have an alarm as well. If an item has a due date in the item details form, a button labeled “Alarm” will be available. Press this to bring up another form where you can enable or disable the alarm, set how many days before the due date and what time you want the alarm to go off. The alarm will sound on the selected day and every day after that at the same time until the item has been marked completed.

Alarm_dialog

In the application settings, you can choose which sound to use for all of your To Do alarms.
