Is there a way to see all tasks, across all lists?

Is there a way to see all tasks, across all lists? Some days I just want to review everything to recalibrate priorities, due dates, etc.

    It depends how many tasks you've got as to whether you'll really want to do this.

    You could enter "in: open" into the filter box and hit return twice to do a global search.

    If you have *many* items though you will need to hit "Get more search results" until you have them all. Each search will come back with new root/list items so you could get several root/list items for each list which ain't great.

    Thank you. It's a shame the list structure (indents) are not maintained.

    Yes, indents are only maintained within each list as far as I know.

    Perhaps if you described a little more of your workflow and why you want to see all tasks someone here might be able to suggest an alternative/workaround

    The lists are helpful but I find myself working in silos (each list being a silo) and not being able to evaluate my workload as a whole. The "Due" link is good except... If there is no due date the tasks are not included. Also (as far as I can tell) it's not possible to edit tasks in the "Due View"...

    The Due view in fact is the only view which is updated immediately.

    If you change tags or dates (say) for any items they will only appear in other, filtered views after the search index has been updated. In the Due view any change to filter results will be shown immediately.

    You can change dates and notes in the Due view , changing tags may be coming soon.

    Yes, I see. a "Due: Never" section in the "Due" view would be great.

    Just to rethink, consider whether you really need multiple lists, or if you can get away with merging them into one grand list. That would, of course, give you all Checkvist powers in one window.

    Just an exercise to determine where you prefer to make your compromise......

    Thanks for all the input. I have now shifted all my tasks into a single list and whilst that solves my initial problem it now means my tasks are not grouped by list in the due view.

    I'm not looking to reinvent Checkvist; just making sure I'm not missing a feature while I try it out.

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? :)
