If you've not completed a task before its due date rolls around, the task is overdue. Taskerrific marks overdue tasks by turning the summary and due date of the task an alarming shade of red, so you know you need to get working on it right away.
Taskerrific lets you set a due date on all your tasks. Tasks that have a due date will have that due date shown right after the task summary.
To set the due date for a new task, click the Advanced options button when creating the task, and enter a date and time in the fields provided. Taskerrific provides a calendar and time picker to make this easier for you, but you can always type in the date and time if you want. You can also change the due date of an existing task later on, via the task editor dialog.
If you have a task which isn't all that important, you can mark it as low priority. Taskerrific marks low-priority tasks in light blue, to help differentiate them from other tasks.
To create a low-priority task, click the Advanced options button when creating the task, and select "Low" from the priority box. To change the priority of an already-existing task, open the task editor and choose "Low" from the priority box in the editor.
Cancelled tasks are tasks which you aren't going to complete, but at the same time don't want to delete. Taskerrific marks these tasks in grey, letting you recognize and ignore them right away.
Taskerrific lets you assign tasks to your friends. When these tasks show up on your dashboard, Taskerrific shows you who the task is currently assigned to by putting a link to their profile right after the task summary.
To assign a new task, click the Advanced options button when creating the task, and choose the person to whom you want to assign the task. Alternately, you can start the task summary with their @username, similar to sending a reply in Twitter.
You can also assign an existing task to someone via the task editor; this can even be done with tasks that someone else has assigned to you.
To create a new task as part of a project, you can use the project's !tag in order to assign the task.
When you create a project, you can set a tag, which Taskerrific then uses to recognizes as shorthand for that project. For example, the project that this task belongs to has the tag !sample. If you don't set a tag yourself, Taskerrific will create a default tag for you.
You can create new projects simultaneously with tasks, simply by using a !tag that Taskerrific doesn't recognize for any of your projects. When you start a task summary with such a tag, Taskerrific will create a new project, with the same name as the tag, and assign the task to that project.
If you have an important task that you need to work on, you can mark it as high priority. Taskerrific marks high-priority tasks in light red, to signify their importance.
To create a high-priority task, click the Advanced options button when creating the task, and select "High" from the priority box. To change the priority of an already-existing task, open the task editor and choose "High" from the priority box in the editor.
