Top Linkbar Report Privacy Name Share This Report Sharing Instructions Bottom Linkbar

This page shows all of your reports. To view the report, just click on its title. The rest of the options are devoted to managing the reports:

Report Privacy: This shows whether or not the report is shared. If set to private, then only you can view the report. If you make the report public then anyone is able to view it. You can set the report to be public or private by clicking on the "Make public" or "Make private" button. New reports are set to be private by default.
Name: In a couple of places, the report refers to you by name - for example, in the title of the report or the headline count of how many tasks you've completed or added. When it's first generated, the report uses your login name but because you might want it to use something better - like your full name - we let you change it to whatever you want.
Clicking on the "Edit" button to the right of the name will let you change the name to something different, and when you're done, click on "Save" to make the change permanent. Or click "Cancel" to stop editing and revert back to the original name.
Share This Report: If the report is public, then a "Share this report" link is shown. If you click on this link then it will expand to give you instructions on how to share your report with your friends or whoever via email or on your blog or website. Clicking on the link again (which will have changed to say "Hide sharing info") will hide the sharing instructions. The screenshot above shows the sharing information expanded.
Sharing Instructions: This section is only available if you've made the report public (because it's hard to share a private report...). It offers some basic instructions to help you share your report with others - either by copying the given link into an email that you send, or by copying and pasting the snippet of HTML into a new blog entry to share the report on your blog.

Linkbar

The linkbar across the top and bottom of each screen is there to help you navigate around tedium. A few of the links are always shown, but most of them are ones that you choose. To change which links are displayed, you need to go to the customize the linkbar page, which you can find linked from the My Settings page.

From left to right, the links on the linkbar are as follows:

tedium logo: As well as making the top-left corner of the page look pretty, clicking on this will take you back to the Welcome page that you first see when you sign into tedium
All tasks: Does what it says on the tin. Takes you to the list of all of your uncompleted tasks.
Due lists: If you've chosen to show some of the "due" lists in the linkbar, then they'll be displayed here. These are links which show you the tasks that are due today, or by tomorrow, or this week, or next month, or...
Tag lists: This section lets you jump to the list of tasks tagged with one of the tags you've chosen. Set it up to show the tags you use the most, so that you can quickly get to see what needs to be done for those tags.
Views: If you're getting into the more advanced parts of tedium, you'll probably have started creating special views to show you more than one list of tasks at a time. If you want them to only ever be one-click away, then configure the linkbar to show them here.
My Tags: This link takes you to where you can manage your tags. It will let you see all the tags you've defined, and how many tasks there are which are tagged with each tag. Plus you can change the name of any of the tags, and delete any tags which no longer have any associated tasks (but only if you don't want them anymore - tedium doesn't care how many tags you have!)
My Views: This link takes you to a list of all the views you've created, and also where you can create new ones
My Reports: This link takes you to a list where you can see all of your reports and change their settings.
My Settings: This link will take you to the settings page. From there, you can customize the linkbar, and change your email address, timezone or password.
Help: Clicking "Help" will open a new window and show you the help page that goes with whatever page you're viewing at the time. From there you can also browse round the rest of the help pages, and tutorials.
Logout: This link will, surprise, surprise, log you out of tedium. Use it when you're done using tedium and don't want anyone else using the computer to be able to see your tasks.
