Like Outlook, you choose which fields are shown and how tasks are sorted. Many Getting Things Done (GTD) users only use subject, category, due date, status and note fields. To view only those fields on the handheld, open PocketMirror Tasks, open the Menu and tap Preferences. From here you may select which fields are shown in the list view. Scroll to the bottom of this screen and you may select which fields are shown in the edit view. If you don’t use due dates, alarms, recurrences, or priority, you don’t have to see those fields. PocketMirror Tasks allows you to choose how your tasks are grouped and sorted. You may use an ordered list, sorted alphabetically, by due date or by priority. Or you may group and sort your items by due date or by priority. Use the category filter to view only the items you want to see.

@Agendas - When creating the list of people you will be communicating with, use “Contact Lookup” to quickly add their First Name and Last Name to a task subject and their contact information to the note.

@Calls - Let PocketMirror Tasks add the contact information to your tasks and help you make the call. No need to copy and paste or retype contact information, use “Contact Lookup” to quickly add their First Name and Last Name to a task subject and their contact information to the note. And when you are ready to call them, open the task and tap and hold on the number to dial it.

@Computer – Palm Pre and PocketMirror Tasks allow you to do almost everything you can do at your computer. On the edit screen, you may tap and hold on phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and web site addresses to launch the appropriate app prefilled with that information. No longer do you have to retype or copy and paste that information.

@Waiting For - Use Contact Lookup when creating these items and when it is time to follow up, simply tap on their contact information to call or email them. Or, open the task and tap, “Action | Email Task…” to email them this task or use it compose a message.

If you use a keyword system (include a unique keyword in every entry related to a project, either in the subject or note of a task) just start typing in the main view to a get a quick view of items that contain that keyword. PocketMirror Tasks allows you to search the subject or the subject and note of the task.

PocketMirror Tasks supports due dates and will show overdue items in red and at the top of lists sorted by due date. You may also set alarms on particularly important items.

PocketMirror gives you the choice to either keep completed items only in Outlook or in both Outlook and the handheld. By default, completed items are only kept in Outlook and will be removed from the handheld during synchronization. To change this, open PocketMirror on the handheld, open the menu and select, “Preferences & Accounts” and tap on Tasks. You may also use the “Date Filter” to view “All” items, which will include completed items, or view “Active” items, which will show all tasks that have not yet been completed.
