Sorting tasks using different views

Learn how to switch between task-list views, apply filters, change the sorting order, and customise how tasks and essays are displayed.

Written by Central Support

Cialfo's Tasks feature offers several advantages over a traditional to-do list once you explore its capabilities. This article will highlight some of those benefits!

Switch Views 

We created different ways to view tasks for different modes of thinking.

  1. Task List or Category:

    The Sort menu changes how tasks and essays are grouped and displayed:

    • Custom: Shows all tasks and essays by grouping items by the task list they belong to, such as UCAS, Common App, or checking for Alls.

    • Due date: Sorts all tasks and essays by their deadline, with the nearest due dates shown first.

    • Tasks: Shows tasks first.

    • Essays: Shows essays first.

2. Status:

Sorts your tasks based on their completion status (i.e. Not Applicable, Not Started, In Progress, Done and Approved).

3. Due Date:

Sorts your tasks based on their deadlines, grouping tasks together by the month in which they are due. This view is popular with many students because it gives you a very clear picture of what you need to focus on in the coming weeks. 

4. Multiple Filter:

You can also customize the display of your task list by applying filters like: Status, Task List (category), Essays only, Tasks only, Overdue, Updated (by your counselor), Show Archived and Show Important. 

Check and uncheck different boxes to enable the relevant filters and drill down your focus on only the tasks you're interested in.

5. Student Visibility 

The Student Visibility filter lets you view tasks that are visible to students, hidden from students, or all tasks.
