In PittStop, you can split tasks into
different projects:
Each project can then be split further
into different categories.
For example, you may be working on a
software development project – that project is then split into
different categories, for example designing, testing, coding, etc.
In the Projects section of PittStop,
you can view tasks for each project. To see all the tasks for a
project, just select that project.
To add a new project, click the Add
Project button below the
project list.
You
can then enter details for that project – including the name of the
project, and a start/end date.
In
the list of projects, double click a project to modify that project.
You
can right-click a project to display options for that project,
including archiving that project (which is useful once a project is
completed, as it hides the project from the main list but keeps it
archived).
You
can change between viewing current projects and archived projects
using the option at the bottom of the projects list:
Project Categories
To
add/manage the different categories for that project, click the
Categories button in
the list of tasks for that project.
You
can then add, rename and delete categories. There are also options
to import/export the list of categories from/to a text file, and to
duplicate the categories for another project.
At
the top of the task list are options to filter tasks, so the current
task list only displays tasks with a particular priority, status or
containing a particular keyword. At the bottom of the list of
possible filters are options to filter tasks for different
categories, so only tasks for that category will be displayed.
