Star And Deselect Starred Tasks In Windows

2.) From here, click on the specific task first.  In the “Item Details” tab, you will see in the top left corner a picture of a hollow star icon.

 

3.) Go ahead and click on the hollow star icon, and it will fill up with a YELLOW color.  Also, you will notice your task will automatically be tagged as “starred” by an oval greenish bubble.  So you can easily find it later.

 

4.) You can find the starred tasks WITHIN a certain project by clicking the project on the left, and going to the “Item Tag Filter” on the top by the search bar.  It looks like a funnel.  Click on it and a drop down menu will appear.  Click “starred” to select ONLY the starred tags.

 

5.) If you want to find starred tasks across all your projects, go to the “Master View” list  first.  Second, hit on the “All” quadrant button.  Finally, go to the “Item Tag Filter” and select “starred” tags.

 

After you have selected the “starred” tag from the drop down bar, only your projects with starred tags will appear in the project bar on the left.  In the “Master View” list, only your starred tags will appear. The rest will disappear.  This will show you the projects and tasks that are starred.
