Tasks are assigned using the @ symbol. Here's some examples assuming a list created with "Dan Smith <[email protected]>" and "Lisa Jones <[email protected]>":
You can only assign tasks to members of the current list.
If we find a collision when assigning, such as two people with the same name, the task will remain unassigned.
How do I put dates on a task?
Dates go between parenthesis. You can enter dates in a wide variety of formats:
(Monday), (Wed), (Friday)
(Next Thurs), (tomorrow), (next week)
(July 5th), (July 7), (August 2015), (4/22/2016)
(Tomorrow @ 5pm), (Next Monday at 1pm), (Thursday at noon)
You can write free text inside the parenthesis as well. We only parse any date related text we find.
(Due by Friday), (Finish by tomorrow afternoon)
(before Monday)
How do I perform bulk updates?
You can perform bulk updates via the 'Edit' button.
You can then add, edit, delete or complete multiple tasks all in one email.
