It is recommended that you keep all your tasks in a single folder so that you don't have to go to several folders just to see your tasks. If you do need to keep tasks in more than one folder, you can still view all your tasks by going to the menu command "Tasks | Retrieve All" or pressing Ctrl+R.
Create a task
1. Click the menu command "Tasks | New Task".
2. Enter the task title at the top. Enter other data if needed, like "Start Date", "Due Date", etc.
Create a task with Quick Add
For most research tasks, it is just a simple to-do list. There is no need to use the task editor to add a new task. You can click the Quick Add button at the top, type a new task name, and press Enter.
Create a task from selected references or notes
When browsing a references list or a notes list, you may want to create a task that is relevant to the selected references or notes. To do this, you can just drag the selected references or notes into a tasks folder. Biblioscape will automatically create a new task in that folder, and put the selected references or notes title into the Description field of the new task. You only need to enter a task title and press the "Save and Close" button.
Edit a task
You can edit a task in the live preview pane. When you browse to another record, the changes will be saved automatically. Double clicking a task will open it in a separate task editor window. After changes are made, click the "Save and Close" button.
Delete a task
1. Select the tasks you want to delete.
2. Click the menu command "Tasks | Delete".
Deleted tasks are put in the Recycle bin; you can recover deleted tasks by clicking the Restore button in the Recycle bin.
Print tasks
Click the menu command "File | Print". The current tasks list will be saved as an htm file and opened by your web browser. Go to the browser menu "File | Print" to print it.
