My Tags

Choose the area of this screen on which you want help:

This page shows all of your tags, listed in alphabetical order. Each line in the list has the following options:

Tag Name

This shows you which tag the other items on the line refer to, and also acts as a link to the page showing all the outstanding tasks which have that tag.

Edit

Clicking this button will let you change the name of this tag. When clicked, the name will change from being a link to a text box where you can type the new name. Like this:

When you've typed the new name click on the "Save" button to save the changes, or click on "Cancel" stop editing and revert back to the original name.

Delete

If there aren't any outstanding tasks with this tag, and if you don't want the tag hanging around any more, then you can click on the "Delete" button and get rid of it. If there are still some tasks which have this tag then the "Delete" button will be disabled, so that you don't click it accidentally.

Active Task Count

The final part of the tag information is a count of how many outstanding tasks you have with this tag.

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.
