ActionComplete 4.1 for Web is Out with Minor Enhancements and Bug Fixes

Borys Burnayev — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 11:44:27 +0000

ActionComplete 4.1 is out with 2 minor enhancements and a few bug fixes.

The calendar view now supports Day mode.

There's a new option - Reset Weight on Type Change - that tells ActionComplete what to do with a task weight when the task is converted to another type (Action -> Project, Idea -> Wait, etc). By default the option is enabled and the weight is reset. If you prefer the "old style" behavior, please disable the option.

This release also resolves a few recently reported issues.

ActionComplete is Four!

ActionComplete GTD Toolkit is Available on the App Store, Helps Users Get Things Done on the Go

Centreville, VA, January 8, 2013

ActionComplete LLC announces the immediate availability of a new product - ActionComplete GTD Toolkit for iPhone. ActionComplete GTD Toolkit is available on the App Store at this URL: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/actioncomplete-gtd-toolkit/id588226940.

ActionComplete GTD Toolkit for iPhone brings what users come to expect from a great iPhone application. It’s fast, robust, and intuitive.

ActionComplete in-house development team carefully considered the capabilities of the most advanced Apple mobile platform (iOS 6) and skillfully leveraged them to deliver an intuitive and responsive user experience designed to minimize the time spent on task management and allow the user to focus on actually getting things done.

About the Concepts Used in ActionComplete GTD Toolkit

ActionComplete is based on David Allen’s Getting Things Done methodology. At the core of ActionComplete is management of four types of tasks: Actions (next actions in GTD parlance), Waits (Waiting for), Projects, and Ideas (Someday/Maybe).

The tasks can be assigned two types of metadata: tags and places. A user can easily apply a filter on either or both.

ActionComplete uses weight as a measure of task priority/importance and due date as a measure of task urgency. A user can filter and sort the tasks on both attributes.

A user can set a reminder for a task to get a visual and/or audible notification at the set date and time.

Users who like an even more structured task management approach can leverage projects and assign actions and waits to them.

A user can quickly view the most important tasks, the urgent tasks, and the tasks with past reminders. Alternatively they can drill through their tasks via Tags or Places.

ActionComplete 3.5 for Web: Repeating Projects Made Easy

Borys Burnayev — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:44:13 +0000

Do you often find yourself in a situation where you have to do the same set of tasks over and over?

ActionComplete 3.5 for Web brings you a solution. Enter project copy feature. With a one click you can create a new project out of an existing one and copy over all of its tasks.

Here's how it works:

1. Expand the project you want to duplicate

2. Click the Copy button

Notes

You can use an active or a completed project as a template.
The new project gets an autogenerated name such as <template project name>-123456789.
All the actions and waits of the template project, active as well as completed, are copied as active child tasks of the new project.
Project duplication feature produces a "shallow" copy, i.e. only the following core attributes of the template project and its subordinate tasks are copied: tags, people, places, and weight.

Kudos to ActionComplete user Derrik Hubbard for suggesting the feature!

Also in this release

Always show all tasks option. By default it's not enabled and only the first 10 tasks of each type are displayed in the dashboard. AC for Web works faster when this option is not enabled.
Default reminder type option. This option controls the default selection of the reminder type drop-down in the New Action/Wait/Project/Idea form. By default this is Popup. You can change it to Email if that's what you use most of the time.

To access the new features please refresh ActionComplete page in your browser.
