Task List Plus
Reschedule or Reassign Multiple
Activities
 Task
List Plus allows you to reschedule or reassign multiple activities
with the push of the mouse button. No more clicking each activity in the
list to get a simple task done.
To reschedule multiple activities:
1. Select the activities using the mouse.
2. Click on the icon on the toolbar.
3. Select the day or user.
4. Click 'Reschedule' or 'Reassign'.
Yes, it's that simple!
Outlook Style Card View
Task List Plus can present your tasks in two layouts
styles. The first is the Table Layout just like ACT!'s native layout;
and the Card View layout pictured here. The Card View is an enhanced layout
that supports multi-row and the ability to expand or collapse cards. Each
card can be collapsed or expanded to view its entire details.
Here Task List Plus is using
the Card View Layout. Each activity is designated by a card rather than
a row in a table.
Display Multiple Lines for
Activity Details
You can adjust the amount of lines each activity can display. This is
very helpful when displaying fields like the details that may hold a small
paragraph. With Multi-Line set to 5, we see all the details of the Notes
field being displayed. The height of the Julia Roberts meeting is now
tall enough to display the entire field. If the activity does not have
any notes then the row height will not expand
Here Task List Plus is using
multiple lines to display the details field from the activity. Other activities
with no details are single height.
Colorizing your Activity List
 Task
List Plus allows you to design color rules that colorize any
activity that matches a condition. You can have any activity colorized
in one of two ways. The first is if the activity matches a color rule
like "Priority = High" or the Activity is in the past.
The second way to colorize is for each activity individually. Add color
to any activity; simply select it and right-click, exposing the "Color
Picker". Select the desired color and the activity row will always
appears in that color.
 You
can add color rules with this simple rule builder. Multiple rules can
be turned on at the same time.
Activity Grouping and Sorting
Task List Plus allows grouping and sorting just like
Outlook by an unlimited number of columns. Sometimes grouping is not enough
and there are situations where you need an easy way to see a sum, average
or count for certain columns within a group. This can easily be achieved
with Task List Plus.
Here we see Task List Plus sorted
on the "Week" column then the "Activity Type" column.
New Toolbar is Added to ACT!'s Interface
Task List Plus adds a new toolbar at the top of the
task list. With this toolbar, all the features and functions of TLP
are exposed for an easy mouse click.
You can use popup menus and toolbars to give Task List Plus
instructions about what you want to do. A toolbar can contain buttons
with images (the same images you see next to corresponding menu commands),
menus, or a combination of both.

of the functions under the right click popup menu are also available on
the toolbar.

please refer to the toolbar just above.
Filter panels are easily accessed at
any time.
Task List Plus locates the filter panels at the bottom
of the task view window. You can use filter options to restrict the activities
that display on the Task List or on a tab. You can narrow the activities
based on date, activity type, or priority. You can also choose to show
timeless, cleared, Outlook, and your private activities. Filter settings
apply until you change them.
These panels can be closed by clicking on the
'push pin' icon on the top right corner of each panel.
Tag Mode is supported for addition
functionality.
You can tag and un-tag activities to create a lookup manually. Occasionally
you may want to send an email to contacts from a set of activities. Using
tag mode in the activity list gives you this type of control. To send
an email to these five activities, simply tag then lookup the selected
contacts. It's just like creating a lookup from the menu in ACT!.
You can multi-select any number of activities
and lookup or remove them. Just click 'Refresh' to return the list to
its original state.
Edit data in any column.
 Task
List Plus has several 'built-in' editors like Textbox, CheckBox,
Calendar DropDown, Combo and DropDown Controls. The dropdown controls
are pre-filled with user-defined list values from ACT!.
Never go back to the details window to make changes to a contact. Edit
any value with one click. The list will go into edit mode and display
an editing object like a calendar or dropdown list depending on the type
of data.
Printing in Color
Task List Plus includes a print function to easily achieve
WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) color printing.
- Columns fit to page option will squeeze all the columns onto one page
by reducing the column width.
- Columns actual size option will allows the columns to print onto
a second page if required.
- Columns zoom to fit option will squeeze all the columns onto one
page by reducing the font size.
The 'Print Preview' option. From this window you
can access the 'Page Setup' options before printing.
Drag & Drop Column Layouts
You can drag & drop any column on or off the list at any time. To
remove a column simple drag the column off the list. To add a column,
select the Columns Layout tool on the toolbar and drag additional columns
onto the list. You can quickly switch between multiple 'Column Layouts'
by a simple popup list. Below is an example of five different layouts
that are installed by default.
The Drag & Drop columns tool. Notice that
the list has 'Alternating Rows' option turned on.
Sum/Count/Total values in a column
Task List Plus has math functions built into each column
and row; like displaying the group count on each group row: Type:
Meeting( 11 ). Contact List Plus can add totals
and counts at the bottom of each column using Aggregate Functions that
include: Count, Sum, Average, Min, Max, StdDeviation, and ValueCount.
