Todo Components
The Simplest Todo
The only thing a todo needs to be created, is the summary field filled out:
Once this todo is marked complete, you will see the zulu_STATUS and zulu_COMPLETED fields populated automatically:
Using The Note and zulu_DUE Fields
The Note field allows for a bit more description about this todo, and this description will show in the Apple Reminder interface. The zulu_DUE allows you to specify a date when the todo is expected to be complete.
Using The Priority Field
The zulu_PRIORITY allows you to specify the urgency of this todo. Apple reminders uses numbers to correspond to the level of urgency:
- 1 - High
- 5 - Medium
- 9 - Low
- (empty field) - No Priority
Using The Activity Field
The zulu_ACTIVITY is used to give the todo an actionable icon that can be clicked to perform some activity. This is best described through examples.
You can initiate a phone call from a todo by storing the value: "tel:7702349293" in the zulu_ACTIVITY field:
You can open a web page by storing the value "https://google.com"
You can use an fmp url to open a FileMaker database:
