Mylar Task List</h1>

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="border-collapse: collapse"id="table1">

<td valign="top">
The Mylar Task List provides methods for creating and maintaining tasks
and bug reports. In the order that they appear on the toolbar, the
Task List provides the following features work managing task and bug
reports:<ul>
<li>Create task - add new task to Task List</li>
<li>Create category - organize tasks and bug reports into groups</li>
<li>Add or create new bugzilla report - add a bug report into Task List</li>
<li>Add bugzilla query - creates a category that contains all bugzilla
<br>
reports that match the query</li>
<li>Refresh - refresh all bug reports and bugzilla queries</li>
<li>Filter tasks - set filters for Task List</li>
</ul>
<p> </td>
<td valign="top">

<h3>Tasks</h3>
<p>A task can be created with a description and a priority level. The
priority level can be varied from P1 through P5 which is used for sorting
and filtering the Task List. A task can be set to complete by right clicking
and selecting "Mark Complete". The completed tasks appear in the
Task List
with light gray font to distinguish it from incomplete tasks. More detailed
information such as notes and related links can be added to the task by
double clicking on the task, which will open an editor. A task can be
activated by selecting the glasses icon in the first column, which will
initiate the monitoring feature of mylar to store the task context. The
active task and its category will appear in bold on the task list. The
context stored for each task can be cleared by right clicking the task and
selecting "Clear Task Context".</p>
<h3>Categories</h3>
<p>A category can be created to organize the Task List. If a category is
selected during task creation, the task will be added to that category. The
drag and drop feature of the Task List allows tasks and bug reports to be
moved from one category to another.</p>
<h3>Bugzilla Reports</h3>
<p>Bugzilla reports can be added to the Task List via two methods. An
existing bug report can be downloaded from a bugzilla server or a new bug
report can be created on a bugzilla server. The Task List shows the same
details for the bug report as it does with tasks, but the icons are
different. When the bug report is double clicked, the bug report will be
opened by a bugzilla editor or an internal browser, which can be toggled in
the preferences. A bugzilla report can be activated in the same manner as
tasks.</p>
<h3>Bugzilla Query</h3>
<p>A bugzilla query is a category that is made up of all bug reports that
match a specified query. When it is created, the user is presented with a
dialog that presents query options similar to the search page on the
bugzilla server. All hits form the query are added to the query and can be
used like standard bug reports.</p>
<h3>Filters</h3>
<p>Filters are available to manage the Task List. There are two filters, one
for filtering completed tasks, and one for filtering based on priorities.</p>

tasks active.<p>
