About the Browse Tasks Screen

When you first open the To Do application from the Jump screen, you'll see a list of all your tasks.

Overdue tasks are shown with an exclamation point icon . Tasks that are due "today" are marked with a sunburst icon . Opposite each task name is the due date, or Today, or Tomorrow (if applicable). Then to the right of the due date is the task's priority icon:

Completed tasks are shown with a check mark and the font is shown in regular font, as opposed to bold.

You can decide if you want to view your tasks by due date, priority, or status (completed or incomplete). Read more in Sort Tasks.
