Application views
It is possible to view tasks in the following three ways:
As a sorted list of tasks.
A detailed view of a single task.
A task opened for editing.
Sorted list
The primary display of the application shows a sorted list of tasks. In this
list a user is able to change the priority of a task, mark a task Completed
or view additional details of the task.
The sorting order of the tasks is:
Completed: incomplete tasks are shown first.
Priority: tasks with a priority closer to 1 are shown first.
Description: tasks are shown in alphabetic order.
From the sorted list view the user is able to:
Create a new task through the Edit View of the task.
View the details for the task through the Detailed View of the task.
Mark tasks as completed.
Change the priority of a task
Filter the list of tasks shown according to a specified category.
Detailed view
The detailed view of a task shows data for a single task. This is shown as
rich text. All the information for the task is formatted for optimum readability.
From the sorted list view the user is able to:
Edit the current task through the Edit View of the task.
Delete the current task.
Beam the current task using IR.
Edit view
The edit view of a task allows the user to specify the data for a new task
or modify that of an old task.
Non-applicable values are disabled. For example, the start date field is disabled if the the task status is marked as Not Started.
When the editing has been completed the user is able to either accept or cancel the changes they have made.
