Tutorial - 'Waiting For' items

Introduction

This small tutorial will show how to use the 'Waiting For' feature in Organiser.

'Waiting For' is a property of an item that indicates that you're waiting for someone else before you can mark the item as 'Done'. You can wait for Todo's, Tasks and Contacts in general.

Creating a few tasks

Create 2 groups; 'Contacts' and 'The Project'. In the contacts group, add a contact. In the Project group, add a few tasks. You should now have something like this:

Now right-click on one of the tasks and select 'Waiting for this':

Once you deselect the highlighted task, you can see that it's background has turned yellow, to indicate this task is being waited for.

To get an overview of all items that you're waiting for, select the 'All' group, and turn off 'Show active items' but leave 'Show waiting-for items' on. You should now see only the items that you're waiting for, as shown below.
