Suggestion: 'Find Tasks' > is there a way to filter for "now"

[G-Eric]

Hello,

I am using filters of the 'Find Tasks' window (see image below)

I created a filter to show the tasks due today (i.e. any time of the day).
However, some of my tasks have a specific time for either 'start' or 'due' (or even both).

Therefore, I try to filter either "Started NOW" or "Due NOW".
I did not succeed in creating the necessary rule to excluded tasks started / due today but later than now.

Any hint to do this?

Thanks for any help on this - Eric

I understand that you are trying to use the 'Find Task' filters but have you tried the 'Due By' and 'Started By' filters on the Filter Bar?

Do these do what you want?

Yes, Dan, I know it exists and use it daily for this usage.

The reason I was discovering the 'Find Tasks' about this feature was to reduce the number of clicks when changing / switching my display criterias.
I was thinking about kind of "preset" filter settings, so that I could (lazy-ly) swing between these preset modes.

From your question, I understand it is not existing as such: ok, I have the answer to my question and do not look further.
This was neither an issue nor a request: just a question in case I did miss something obvious.

I will continue the way I did it so far, and that has been successful: no worries.  :-)

Have a nice week-end - Eric

No worries Eric.

Also I am happy to look at adding 'n' (now) tp relative dates so that this will work in Find Tasks.

Good idea ;)

Hi Eric

Check out the preview of 7.2 for using 'N' to equal 'Now' in the Find Tasks dialog.
