Works on your phone

Something on your mind that the ready-made list doesn't cover? Add it as a task, with a date if it has one, and it takes its place on the road with everything else.

Steps

  1. Open Checklist and choose Add Task at the top (Add on a phone). On a computer the New task form opens beside your tasks on the Timeline tab. On a phone it slides in.

  2. Type a Title (1). Add a Description if you like.

  3. Under When, choose the Due date box (2) and pick a day. A line underneath says how far that is from your wedding. Leave it empty for a task with no date.

  4. Under Details, choose a Category (3). Every task needs one. Assign to (4) is optional, and Priority starts on Medium.

  5. Choose Create task (5). Nothing is saved until you do, and your new task opens straight away so you can check it.

Good to know

  • Change it later. Open the task and choose Edit, then Update task. Delete asks you to confirm first, and a deleted task can't be brought back.
  • The categories are set. You choose from the checklist's own categories, such as Venue & Catering or Attire & Beauty. You can't add your own.
  • Removed every task with Remove all? That clears the categories too, so the form offers Create the default categories first.
  • Medium and High show a small flag in your task lists, so the important ones stand out.
  • Your own tasks keep their dates when you recalculate dates after a change of wedding date.
