These sections contain information about how to add items to a tasklist folder.
You can configure the type of item that is automatically created when you create a new item in the Tasklist.
Click Tools > Options, and then double-click Environment.
Click the Default Actions tab.
Under New tasklist item, select whether you want new items to be created as discussion/notes or tasks.
Click OK.
A common way to place items in the Tasklist folder is to move those items from other folders. For example, you might receive an appointment for a meeting where you are expected to give a brief presentation. You can drag that appointment to your Tasklist folder as a reminder that you have a presentation coming up.
Open the folder containing the item you want to make into a task, and then select that item.
Drag the selected item to the Tasklist folder in the Full Folder List.
To access the Full Folder List, click the folder list drop-down arrow (above the Folder List, to the right of Online or Caching), and then click Full.
You can move items to the Tasklist folder from a shared folder only if you are the owner of the shared folder.
Open the newly moved item.
Tasklist options appear at the top of the item view. You can also assign an order number, or move the task to the top or bottom of the list.
Add a due date.
Click Close.
In the Tasklist folder, the items display with a check box next to them. When you complete an item in the Tasklist, you can mark it completed by selecting the check box.
The Tasklist is useful for keeping track of tasks and reminders.

The item or items stay in the original folder, but they also display in the Tasklist folder. From the Tasklist folder, you can arrange the items in the order you want, assign due dates, mark them as completed, and so forth. If there is a Tasklist in the original folder, the items also appear there.
You can mark these items completed in either the original folder or the Tasklist folder.
NOTE:You can only mark items to display in the Tasklist folder from a shared folder if you are the owner of the shared folder.
