To Do Links

Bonsai Outliner for Palm OS > Item Details > Links Tab > To Do Links

Setting a to do link can be done from the details dialog.

When an item is linked a new To Do is created in the built-in To Do database using the attributes of the item (Name, Note, Priority, Due Date, Completion Status, Category). 

If there is a category in the standard To Do database that matches the category of the item in the outline, the linked to do will assigned that category.  Otherwise, the to do will be assigned the unfiled category.

Tapping on the To Do link icon will jump to the To Do. The application launched is configured in the Settings dialog. Bonsai can insert a link tag into the To Do to indicate that the To Do is associated with a Bonsai outline.  Configuring this option is also done in the Settings dialog. When link tags are used it is possible to jump back to the Bonsai outline from the To Do application.  Instructions for installing and configuring this option are given in the Back-2-Bonsai topics.

Unlinking the item, or changing the link type to outline, will break the link to the To Do.  The To Do is removed from the standard To Do database if the application setting is enabled for this option.

Note: Changes made on the desktop to an item linked with a To Do require 2 synchronizations before they appear in the desktop PIM application.  On the first synchronization the changes are propagated to the handheld To Do database.  On the second synchronization the changes are propagated to the desktop PIM application by the PIM HotSync Manager conduits.
