Description:
AM TasksPlus is a Today Screen plug-in that replaces the simplified tasks plug-in provided by the Pocket PC manufacturer.
AM TasksPlus shows compact tasks statistics or a detailed list of incomplete tasks grouped by hierarchy (Actual, Due today, Overdue and Future tasks), category, importance, sensitivity, progress or ungrouped(plain list) . Tasks are filtered by categories, importance and sensitivity. Groups are expandable to list the grouped tasks.
Using user defined configuration profiles, various views can be quickly applied to change the Today screen.
Main features:
The plug-in is fully configurable and allows you to set which tasks to show and how to show them, including the possibility to control the number or order of tasks. Runs on Windows Mobile 2003, 2003 SE, 5.0, 6.0 and 6.1 devices with hi-resolution screens and landscape rotation. Square screen devices are also supported.
The plug-in supports 3rd party API calls (namely Agenda Fusion and Pocket Informant PIMs), so you can use your favorite tasks manager to manipulate tasks.
Standard operations as copy view, beam, send to bluetooth, delete task, or make task complete are accessible from Today Screen pop-up menu. Distribution currently contains many languages. Additional language packs are coming.
