My list-style is set to Checkboxes.

My list-style is set to Checkboxes. But checkboxes only appear for lines that have NO children. Is that by design?? I can't "complete" a task if it has any children? It sounds related to the setting " Close parent task when the last child is closed", which i have set to Off.  i just want every line to have its own status of completion, regardless of having a child or not, and regardless of a child's status. Is that possible?

Aha!

Aha! I've been looking for the "hide notes" command and wondering why it's not "hn". I discovered by a lucky accident that it is "Esc". Is there a command to reorder notes?

Is there any way for checkvist to show who is looking at any particular list?

Is there any way for checkvist to show who is looking at any particular list?  Like showing their icons in the upper right corner or above the doc (or better yet in the cells ) like Google Docs and hackpad do?  That would be great to see who's collaborating in our  team.  If not that - then at least who's sharing that list?  Thanks!

I'm experimenting with the best way to manage a large task list.

I'm experimenting with the best way to manage a large task list. I want to set up priorities, tags, and due dates in helpful ways.  I try to have two modes of work: (1) Manager mode, when I look over all my projects and make a plan. (2) Employee mode, where I have a short list of prioritized tasks and I can focus on getting them done. (This is an analogy -- I am both the Manager and the Employee at different times.) This is why I was drawn to Checkvist. I can set up a detailed hierarchy and review the big picture, but then use filters to narrow my focus for the day.  Often I have a task which is not important right now, but will be high priority on a certain day next week. I'm not sure the best way to handle this. If I give tasks like this a high priority, then they are distracting for the current view. Perhaps I need to wait until their date comes up and then set a priority, but that also has a risk that I won't notice them on the date that they come due. Thoughts? Ideas?

we really need a dedicated iOS app - the browser version is clunky - is an iOS or android app going to be available?

I am confused about sharing.

I am confused about sharing. I have a Pro account, and I want to use Checkvist to manage projects for many different clients. Each project would have one list, and I want to share only that list with the appropriate client. -  Do all my clients need a Pro account too? Or can they have a Free account? -  Would my clients signup for their own account, entirely separate from mine (except that we share a list)? Or would all my clients need to be "on my team", somehow as sub-accounts within my master account? I do NOT want all clients to have access to all my Lists.

Slicing and Dicing

Slicing and Dicing The sorting power of Checkvist is quite handy.  Is there any good way to sort by Tags?   I can assign every item with a particular tag to have a particular priority, then sort by priority... but of course, the number of tags can very easily exceed the number of priorities available.   It's possible to filter by tag, select all items of the filtered list, move them to a temporary list (named HOLD, for example), then move them all back to the top of the original list. If moving to another list included the originating list, this would be quite an easy way to sort by Tag. Anyone have a better way?

Hello friends!

Hello friends! Finalising the new version of the mobile app that will feature the long awaited 'Delete' function, we thought it would be better to mirror the 'Delete' on mobile with 'Restore deleted' in the browser ( http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/5312958-a-trash-bin-to-store-deleted-items-temporarily ). Now you can restore the list items deleted during the last 24 hours on https://beta.checkvist.com . Just press the 'rd' shortcut, and select which items you want to restore. Then either press the 'rd' shortcut again, or the 'Restore' button under the list. As always, we'll be happy if you tried the new function and tell us how it works. And meanwhile we'll finish the delete on mobile :) Thanks!

How do You Use Custom CSS with Checkvist?

How do You Use Custom CSS with Checkvist? I have seen the nice examples of how to customize Checkvist as shown in    https://checkvist.com/checklists/486715?permalink=42913 I would find it immensely helpful if someone could give some kind of a primer for the inexperienced to get started using CSS.   Is the CSS code part of the Checkvist document?  How can such CSS be invoked?  Any help for the uninitiated would be very appreciated. https://checkvist.com/checklists/486715?permalink=42913
