Managing authoring tasks

You can manage and track your authoring topics by using the "To Do" list. It is an itemized list of work tasks that authors commonly perform to write topics from start to finish.

As you complete tasks, you can mark them in the "To Do" list to keep track of your progress. You can also view and print this information by using the Project Status report.

To use the "To Do" List:

  1. Click the Topics tab.

  2. Select the topic(s). To select multiple topics, press and hold CTRL while you click each one.

  3. Click Properties .

  4. Click the Status tab.

  5. From the "To Do" List, select a task you've completed.

Notes: You can also change the status, assign priorities, track estimated hours or completed hours, and enter your own comments at this dialog.
