			</li>
			<li>Right-click on the Task List and select "New -> Query..."</li>
			<li>Select the repository whose tasks you would like to download and click "Next".</li>
			<li>If you are prompted to select a query type, select "Create query using form" and click "Next".</li>
			<li>Complete the form to define which tasks will be downloaded as part of this query, and then click "Finish". You can provide values for only as many parameters as necessary to filter the query results.</li>
		</ul>
