6.3 Using Tasks
A task is a personal or work-related project, assignment, or
errand to track through completion. A task can occur once,
or it can recur. A recurring task can repeat at regular intervals
or repeat based on the date you mark the task complete. For
example, you might want to pay a bill on the last Friday of
every month, or get a haircut when one month has passed
since your last haircut.
The task list
The task list is your "things to do" list. When you create or
edit tasks with Outlook on your desktop computer and then
synchronize with your Smartphone, additional task infor-
mation may display.
A task that has been marked as high priority is preceded by
an exclamation mark, and one marked as low priority by a
down arrow. On color devices, overdue tasks are displayed
bold and red.
If you synchronize tasks with your desktop computer,
completed tasks are removed from your Smartphone
during synchronization. They are then displayed in gray
with a strikethrough on your desktop computer.
Importing calendar information
You can import calendar information from another calendar
program that uses the iCal or vCal format. You can import
calendar information from attachments in e-mail messages,
SMS messages, and links in Microsoft
(R)
Pocket Internet
Explorer, or by beaming. When you import information and
then synchronize, the information is added to Outlook on
your desktop computer.
