Sort Activities

You can sort Activities by a property (e.g. name) by clicking on the corresponding column header. If you want to change the way of sorting (i.e. ascending/descending), click the header again to update the ordering.

TIPS: By sorting Activities by priority, you can realize how urgent the assigned Activities are and to decide which one to do first.

Hide an Activity temporarily (Remind Later)

When you are assigned many Activities, you may find it hard to concentrate on Activities you have to do at this moment as there are too many entries displaying in the widget. You can hide Activities that are not of your interest to make the widget lists only those important. To hide Activity temporarily, right click on the Activity you want to hide and select Remind Later from the popup menu. By applying reminder on an Activity, it will be hidden until the date and time you set.

This shows the Remind Later window. You need to set the time to show the Activity in the widget again. You can set the upper option to show the Activity an hour/day/week/month later. The lower option lets you set the exact day and time of showing the Activity. By clicking on Now, the second option will be selected and the day and time would be set to current time. Click OK to confirm the setting.

NOTE: You can read the hidden Activities in the Remind Later widget in Home page.

Show the URL of Activity

Each Activity has a unique URL for you to visit and open in web browser. You can ask team members to follow up an Activity by sending him the URL of Activity so that he can open it, read it and take action accordingly. To check the URL of Activity, move the mouse pointer over the Activity without clicking on it. Click on the anchor icon on the right hand side.
