Advanced To Do Management with MegaToDo

ShockeyUX is proud to present MegaToDo – the last To Do list you will ever need!

 

With MegaToDo, you can provide incredibly powerful To Do management to your users. Here are just a few of the snappy features:

  • Prioritize every To Do item in the list. 
  • Give each item a status that goes way beyond the usual Done/Not Done model. 
  • Assign a time of day to each item – AM, PM, EoB (End of Business), EoD (End of Day), OG (Ongoing). 
  • Edit tasks inline or in a card window
  • Mark items as perpetual so you can see them in today’s list, even though they are due on a future day. 
  • Mark items as Personal to keep them separate from work-related items. 
  • Move overdue items from previous days to today’s list with one button-click.
  • Delegate tasks to other users, who will in turn see those tasks in their list – and vice versa.
  • Add notes to tasks.

MegaToDo is free to use and completely unlocked. The code is commented and handy training tutorials make it easy to get up and running fast. Integrate it into your own solution or provide it as a standalone app. 

 

Coming soon:

  • Add-on functionality like color-coded client hooks to use with your own clients, and more sophisticated handling of delegated tasks. 
  • iOS version.
  • More functionality that we haven’t even thought of yet!

 

Concepts behind MegaToDo: why is this different?

You might be justified in thinking all to do lists are the same. Make a list of things to do, check them off as you do them, get on with your life. Unfortunately, this kind of thinking means you are not taking full advantage of the things that can make that list play a bigger, more meaningful role in your life. If you are the kind of person who juggles many tasks simultaneously, delegates them to other people, and generally manages your life by prioritizing everything, you might need something more. 

MegaToDo gives you – and the users you design FileMaker systems for – the power to handle large and small tasks in a way that is far more organized than the typical “napkin” approach.

 

Prioritization

 There are two things that are obvious to everyone about a to do list: you need to know when a thing is done, and you need to know how important it is. Having a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being most important, is a no-brainer. But what if you add the dimension of time? What if you like to organize your day by morning (AM) and afternoon (PM)? What if something needs to be done by end-of-business (EoB), or end-of day (EoD – as in midnight)? What if something doesn’t have to be done that day at all, but is an ongoing (OG) thing you want to make sure doesn’t slip away altogether? The TOD buttons give you just that. You can sort your list into time of day, so all of the morning tasks (prioritized by time of day and number) group together, followed by afternoon, EoB, EoD, and OG. 

 

Status

The status of a to do item is traditionally restricted to simply done or not done. I find that most of my day consists of having multiple items in progress, as well as several things that are on hold (waiting for an outside action to occur), or are delegated to other individuals to carry out on my behalf. The Status icons help to track this, and just like Priority, are used for filtering the list. At any given time, I might filter my list to only items with a high (1 or 2) priority that are Pending or In Progress. I also may want to know, some time later, if a task was Canceled or Completed, even though most of the time I do not want to see such things clogging up my list.

Delegation

Knowing how to delegate tasks to others to complete is an important skill for anyone who is in charge. MegaToDo takes that into account with the ability to delegate tasks to others, and have them show up in their list. In similar fashion, other people can delegate tasks to you, and they will show up in your list as well, if you have the “Include Items Delegated to Me” switch on.
