Task Groups
Task groups collect related tasks and show their combined progress.
Create a group
Groups are automatically created when a title starts by a group tag.
You can manually add the same group tag at the beginning of at least two task titles. You can use square brackets, curly braces, or colons:
Typing any of the group tag symbols will automatically create the other symbol and move the cursor in the middle of them. Or simply use the group suggestions.
[Home] Buy milk
[Home] Clean kitchen
You can also write {Home} or :Home:. Tasks with matching group names are displayed together.
Group suggestions
You can quickly add a group by using the group suggestions.
To start, tap the group tag you like and type a group name. Groups in the current view will automatically be suggested. You can also type ... to see all the groups available in all timeframe.
Group suggestions are available inside groups too. Tapping a new group will move the task to the new group after confirming the new task title.
Group suggestions can be used before or after typing the task title.
They are also available in Task Info. Touch and hold a task to open it. The group name and task title have separate editing fields, and you can add a group to a task that does not already have one.
Group progress
The group row shows how many tasks it contains and visually reflects the completion state of those tasks. Open the group by tapping on it and to see and manage each task.
Add a task inside a group
Open the group and use its add-task control. To-day adds the group tag to the new task so it remains inside the group.
Rename a group
To rename a group, touch and hold the group title. Enter the new group name and save.
Renaming a group updates the group name used by the tasks inside it, so they stay together under the new name.
This affects only the tasks in the current timeframe.
Reorder tasks inside a group
- Open the group.
- Tap the order button in the top-right corner.
- Drag the handles to arrange the tasks.
- Tap Done to save, or Cancel to keep the previous order.
Reordering is also available from the group's long-press sheet. Your layout setting still determines how completed and incomplete tasks are arranged.
Move a group
Touch and hold a group, then choose a destination timeframe. If asked whether to move completed tasks too, choose Yes to include them or No to move only incomplete tasks.
You can also move groups from previous weeks or months into the current period. Tap the confirmation message to go to the destination.
