Adding calendar tasks
To add a task to a calendar:
1 Open the calendar.
2 Choose File > New > New Task.
Shortcuts
To create a task that starts today, double-click within the blank space in the Today list. To create a task that starts on any other particular day, open the shortcut menu from that day, then choose New Task.
3 Update the basic task information on the New Calendar Task form.
4 Update the Reminders tab, if you want to generate reminders, before the start and due dates, for a task with a due date.
If you add reminders to the task, this icon is displayed beside it:
 5 Attach files or add content just as you would for a message, if necessary.
The task is added to your calendar when you close the calendar task form.
Adding tasks from other calendars
You can copy tasks from one calendar to another. This can be useful for adding tasks from group calendars to your personal calendar.
To copy a task to another calendar, drag it from the source calendar to the appropriate date on the target calendar.
Deleting calendar tasks
If you are creating a calendar task and decide you do not want it, you can delete it while it is still open, just as you would an open message.
Viewing calendar tasks
Incomplete tasks remain on the Today list and on all days after they have started.
Overdue tasks are shown in red. Completed tasks have a red line through them.
To see task details, open the task. You can also see some details in a popup window by hovering your cursor over the task.
Updating calendar tasks
To change details about a task, open it, make your changes, then close the task form.
If you change the start date, the task will move to the appropriate date on the calendar.
Shortcut
To move a task, you can drag it to the new start date. Dragging a task to the Today list is the same as dragging it to today's date on the calendar.
Changing calendar task status
To change the status of a task, choose the appropriate status at "Task state" on the task form.
If you choose Completed, today's date appears at "Completed on". You can change this date if necessary. If you drag a completed task to another date, the "Completed on" date changes accordingly.
Shortcut
If you do not already have the task open, you can change the task status to Completed by clicking the task icon. Clicking this icon again changes the status back to Not Completed.
Completed tasks drop to the bottom of the list.
