Description:
Nested Tasks is an Outlook Tasks, not a "task/app manager". It (pretty much) replaces all the functionality of the built-in Tasks application.
It adds the ability to nest tasks under one another. Based entirely on properties of the built-in Tasks - will sync with Exchange/Outlook, and requires no importing of Tasks.
Installation:
- Copy the Nested_Tasks.cab file to your device.
- Run it.
General Usage:
- On first use no Tasks will be nested (obviously).
- Tap-and-hold on an item to be nested (the "Child"), choose Cut from the context menu.
- Tap-and-hold on an item to become the "Parent", choose Paste Here.
Features:
- Cut and Paste tasks to create nesting.
- Add new, edit and Delete tasks.
- Copy tasks to create duplicates.
- View and set task Priority from the menu.
- Complete or Activate Tasks with the checkboxes.
