We're part of the fan club. We want to use one of our lists as a logger for tasks which have been completed. We want to sort by created date - not due date. Haven't noticed a straightforward way of doing this

Is this something that we missed or is it something that could be a useful addition?

Thanks heaps for Checkvist. It's the best

    Any reason you could not set the due date to the date of creation?

    Jim offered an interesting workaround, thanks :)

    I'm afraid, I cannot offer a ready-to-use solution for this.
    By the way, why do you need this logger list, what would you like to achieve?

    Thanks both for your comments. Jim's idea sounds like a good workaround.
    Our workflow involves lots of worksheets and we want to log completed actions in a logger to track them - we move completed actions to the logger list.

    Jim - Just tried your suggestion and it works fine. There is one issue - that we get lots of overdue messages. That sort would really help us avoid having to export to external spreadsheet or similar

    So far, to avoid overdue I can only suggest to prefix completed items with text like 2016-07-02 and sort alphabetically. But this requires more discipline and may be not as convenient as set a due date.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
