MLO 6 beta - Dashboards => hide completed tasks / display views as defined

[Mirko Vollmer]

Hi MLO Team,

great work on version 6. I like the dashboard approach, but I am confused by:

1. I set up a new dashboard and it I can't hide the completed tasks. That makes it very much unusable for me. Maybe I missed something, but I couldn't find an option to change it. The selected views for the different windows have completed tasks hidden.

2. when selecting a custom view with filters/options like:

specific context, completed hidden, no hierachy (so basiacally a plain list of all uncompletd tasks with the selected context)

It still shows the complete outline / all tasks with folder structure.

I haven't yet found a solution to change above. It looks different on the short clip on the MLO website.

Thanks for any support to sort this out.

Regards,

Mirko

Hi Mirko

Be sure to save the view after editing in the main window. Then re-open the dashboard to see if the completed tasks have disappeared.

Hi Mirko.

 

Your concern was probably answered already so ignore this if so.

 

1. Starting with my Main View, I create the view I want and in my advanced filter I put “Completed = False” as one of the line items.  Then, once I save that custom view (or resave it), the Dashboard will reflect the change. But you know this, apparently, so….
2. …so first let me give my own answer.  In my case the Dashboard always reflects the filtering from the Main View (I have one view that doesn’t update properly but it indeed acknowledges the filtering).  Again, you apparently know filters well, so what’s the problem? My guess, and it’s just a guess, since I think you’ve tried the obvious, is that it’s possible you haven’t re-saved the custom view once you edit it’s filter.  In other words, if I edit a view to remove completed, the Dashboard will still show them.  If I edit a view to remove the hierarchy, the Dashboard will still show them.  That is, until I re-save my changes in the main view.  Then the Dashboard should update instantly. If not…

 

…then you either have a special bug, or else someone else has a better answer.

 

Take Care,

Hi Michael and everyone else who contributed,

thanks for taking the time to look into it. The solution was to save the view (need to admit, I never did it before). Once a view is saved, it shows up on the dashboard as it is set up.

Quite easy fix in the end and I'll continue to explore the possibilities of the dashboards. Thanks again and wishing everyone to have an awesome day.

Kind reards

Mirko
