Click Here for Adobe PDF Version of this Tip.In the last Tip, we assigned a Due/Reminder Date to our Project(s). Of course doing so doesn't help much unless we can see the date somewhere, somehow. This Tip shows how to quickly bring your Due Dates into view.
Step 1 ... Open the Field Chooser
While viewing your Project list in a normal table view, Right-Click on the row of column labels at the top of the table. Select "Field Chooser" from the drop-down menu. Or in the alternative ...

On the toolbar, click the "Field Chooser" button.
|
 |
Step 2 ... In the "Field Chooser" Window
The "Field Chooser" window will pop open. In the drop-down list at the top, scroll down to "All Contact fields", and select it.
|
 |
Step 3 ... Select the Field We Want
With "All Contact fields" displayed, scroll down the list of fields to "Reminder Time".
|
 |
Step 4 ... Add the Field to Our View
Left-Click and Hold on "Reminder Time" in the "Field Chooser" while dragging it to the top row of column labels in the Projects table view. Position the "Reminder Time" (left to right) wherever you would like it, using the red arrows that appear to guide you.

Step 5 ... View Your Due Dates
After positioning your Due Dates column, Unclick and voila, your Project Due Dates are right there to bug you. Note in the example at the right, that a Due Date that has passed (is overdue) will change the Project to red in the view. This is especially handy when you have set a date as a "tickler". A quick review of your Project list will reveal any that need attention.
