Additional default filters and categories in 'My Tasks'
Currently User can go to 'My Tasks' and set which folder(s) to filter. This setting is a default and remembered after restart.
Additional filters should be added to 'My Tasks': Categories, Status.
'My Tasks' should be renamed 'Defaults' for clarity and usability. When 'My Tasks' is open, the screen should read - "Set your default folders and filters here", at the top of the screen.
Easy access filter buttons in task list view
For easier access. two filter buttons should appear along the top of the tasks view (to the right of where it says 'All Tasks').
Two new dropdown labels should appear: 'Categories', and 'Status'.
Both these drop down labels would provide multiselect tick lists.
Users could filter by one or more 'Status' filter and/or by one or more 'Category' filter simultaneously.
This would be an easier, quicker, and more intuitive addition to the current method of clicking 'Menu' and then 'Filter'.
New 'Status' filters should be created for:
'upcoming' (tasks due within 7 days)
'undated' (tasks with no due date)
'due' (tasks already due that aren't completed)
in addition to the existing
'in progress' and
'complete'.
(NB The filters 'due' and 'upcoming' would obviously have no additional effect if 'in progress' was also selected, since it would include all 'due' and 'upcoming' tasks.)
