# The Task Pad

The Task Pad, located in the lower right corner of the calendar, lets you keep a list of tasks separate from your calendar events. Tasks are colored and sorted by priority and due-date (see the chapter called Advanced Configuration for more information), and are included with calendar data during synchronization with a hand-held device.

To record a new task, click the Add button below the list. `Evolution` will pop up a small window with five items in it:

`Summary:`

  The description you enter here will appear in the To Do list itself.

`Due Date:`

  Decide when this item is due. You can either type in a date and time, or select one from the Calendar and time drop-down menus.

`Priority:`

  Select a level of importance from 1 (most important) to 9 (least important).

`Item Comments:`

  If you wish, you can keep a more detailed description of the item here.

Once you've added a task to your to-do list, its summary appears in the `Summary` section of the calendar window. To view or edit a detailed description of an item, double-click on it, or select it and click Edit. You can delete items by selecting them and clicking on the Delete button.
