GTD Tracks blog

GTDTracks was successfully upgraded last night to the latest Tracks source. With it has brought new features like tagging and personal timezone settings. It has also brought some small changes in the way you may be used to entering data that should be pointed out:

• When you add a new action, the Context and Project fields are now auto-complete fields which means that once you start typing your context or project name, it will display a list of options matching what you’re typing. This differs from the previous version which had standard drop down select lists.
• The Show from field is now available when you create your actions, allowing you to create a tickler item even from the main actions page.

It does appear that any tickler items you had created prior to last night’s upgrade will now be visible in your main actions list. To get these back to the tickler and off your inbox you can simply edit and update the tickler items (without making any changes) to get them back where they belong.

Please let us know if you have any other issues with the upgrade!

Since you get the benefit of having the latest Tracks codebase when you use GTDTracks, we can offer you beta-access to the mobile version of Tracks. To view your Tracks info on the go, use this mobile URL:

This is very beta, though, and I have not had luck updating my tasks from the mobile page. At this point think of it more as a read-only view of your tasks. Still.. a nice feature to have.
