| and bug reports. In the order that they appear on the toolbar, the |
| Task List provides the following features work managing task and bug |
| reports:<ul> |
| <li>Create task - add new task to Task List</li> |
| <li>Create category - organize tasks and bug reports into groups</li> |
| <li>Add or create new bugzilla report - add a bug report into Task List</li> |
| <li>Add bugzilla query - creates a category that contains all bugzilla |
| <br> |
| reports that match the query</li> |
| <li>Refresh - refresh all bug reports and bugzilla queries</li> |
| <li>Filter tasks - set filters for Task List</li> |

| <h3>Tasks</h3> |
| <p>A task can be created with a description and a priority level. The |
| priority level can be varied from P1 through P5 which is used for sorting |
| and filtering the Task List. A task can be set to complete by right clicking |
| and selecting "Mark Complete". The completed tasks appear in the |
| Task List |
| with light gray font to distinguish it from incomplete tasks. More detailed |
| information such as notes and related links can be added to the task by |
| double clicking on the task, which will open an editor. A task can be |
| activated by selecting the glasses icon in the first column, which will |
| initiate the monitoring feature of mylar to store the task context. The |
| active task and its category will appear in bold on the task list. The |
| context stored for each task can be cleared by right clicking the task and |
| selecting "Clear Task Context".</p> |
| <h3>Categories</h3> |
| <p>A category can be created to organize the Task List. If a category is |
| selected during task creation, the task will be added to that category. The |
| drag and drop feature of the Task List allows tasks and bug reports to be |
| moved from one category to another.</p> |
| <h3>Bugzilla Reports</h3> |
| <p>Bugzilla reports can be added to the Task List via two methods. An |
| existing bug report can be downloaded from a bugzilla server or a new bug |
| report can be created on a bugzilla server. The Task List shows the same |
| details for the bug report as it does with tasks, but the icons are |
| different. When the bug report is double clicked, the bug report will be |
| opened by a bugzilla editor or an internal browser, which can be toggled in |
| the preferences. A bugzilla report can be activated in the same manner as |
| tasks.</p> |
| <h3>Bugzilla Query</h3> |
| <p>A bugzilla query is a category that is made up of all bug reports that |
| match a specified query. When it is created, the user is presented with a |
| dialog that presents query options similar to the search page on the |
| bugzilla server. All hits form the query are added to the query and can be |
| used like standard bug reports.</p> |
| <h3>Filters</h3> |
| <p>Filters are available to manage the Task List. There are two filters, one |
| for filtering completed tasks, and one for filtering based on priorities.</p> |
