Hi Everyone,

I am responding to Heikki's response to my post in v.11 #1:

Heikki Replied:

Does it help at all if you switch to individual collections and select
All from the toolbar, rather than just working with the Dashboard?

My response:

I'm sorry but that didn't help much.  When I select all the collections on the task bar, the task list is identical to the appearance of the task list when I click on the dashboard.  Right now I triage everything from the dashboard, and then switch to individual collections to reorder tickle dates and clear up ambiguities.

What would help would be if there was a column in the center pane that listed the collections with which any given item is associated.

Thanks for the help,

Wil
