A note – checkvist provides a simple way to create links to other lists. To do this, start adding or editing a list item, and type lst: in the list item text. Read more about other tricks here: http://checkvist.tumblr.com/post/55179489998/a-quick-note-on-using-checkvist-for-online-research

Hello Yuriy,

Thanks for your comment. I suppose regarding hard link/soft link issue - probably there won't be a difference in implementation, all links will be soft. Unfortunately, the current data structure in Checkvist does not allow hard links, because each item is coupled with its list. Of course, there will be an indicator where the 'master' item is located in UI.

Thanks again for the comment,

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · May 28, 2017

I had to google conref, and yes, looks like similar to it.

@EHansen I've updated the name of this request so it better reflects the idea behind. Thanks for the suggestion!

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · May 19, 2013

Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions for this feature.

So far, I cannot name any estimates when we will start working on this - but definitely not before the coming winter. Not because we don't consider it important - but because there are more important tasks we have to solve.

Thanks again,

Unfortunately, this task is not in our nearest plans.

We consider implementing Zoom feature before this one: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/898937-zoom-and-view-features

We also plan to provide a possibility to allow easy linking between lists:

Hello Peter,

Thanks for describing your workaround, I see the pain :(

Could you please let me know, why don't you use notes for such question/answers discussions of the content? Our notes are more like comments, and initially, they were developed for such discussions.

I understand that it won't solve permission issues and won't place comments on the side, but at least you won't need to close tasks/hide completed etc. for printing.

Thanks,

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · December 30, 2011

From what you write I see that you suppose adding another level of commenting in the right sidebar (there could be an option to view existing notes in the right sidebar, but it is not your idea, right?).
I'm afraid, I don't see a use case for such functionality so far. Why have different levels of comments for different groups of people?

Or your main point is to allow commenting of read-only lists? Than your request probably duplicates this one: http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/548517-let-clients-comment-even-in-read-only?ref=title

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · December 29, 2011

I should admit I don't see how could we add both notes and comments in the Checkvist. Inline comments and collaboration in GDocs are nice, but Checkvist is outliner and not text processor. For individual list items you can collaborate using notes. Adding comments for fragments of the text in list items sounds cumbersome for me.

Hi John,

Thanks for sharing, quite an interesting system :)

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · July 22, 2016

A short note - it is possible to use CSS like

#parentTask_0 .dueFuture { display: none; }

To hide items (with sub-items) with due after tomorrow from all screens except the Due page.

May be useful to someone.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · February 04, 2013

@John Hicks I think you can create a subtask of your Due task and assign a Start date for this subtask. This way this "Start day task" will appear in your Due list when you have to start working on the task. Not a true solution, but a workaround.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · July 28, 2012

Actually, I think we'll need another state for such tasks.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · June 01, 2012

Sorry, we haven't started neither recurring tasks nor this issue. No ETA either. Right now we're focused on group plans and attachments.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · September 21, 2011

I should admit that I tried to mix concepts here.

Both recurring tasks and due tasks may have an option "hide until there are n days before due date". But in case of recurring tasks, the task's due will re-appear in the future, and for simple postponed tasks, they won't.

I.e., as I understand this request, for a due task with due in the future, I can specify a number of days before due, when this task will appear in the view.

Also, there should be a command/filter to show all postponed tasks.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · September 17, 2011

Jonathan, if you're able to complete the task today, you can just complete it and remove the due date at all. This way it won't be re-opened again. If I understand your scenario properly, of course.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · September 16, 2011

May be, this is just a duplicate of "recurring due tasks"? When a due task is completed, it can be hidden from the view. But when there are, say, 5 days before the due date, the task can be reopened (and will 1. become visible 2. you'll be notified via e-mail a day before the due date).

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · November 26, 2009

Good idea. I even add my own votes to it. :)

Really good and useful request.

Regarding accidental data loss: Checkvist Pro account gives you up to 10 daily backups of all your lists. Not the same, but may help in some cases.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · February 04, 2017

Regarding recent changes notification - if you have a Checkvist PRO plan, you can subscribe for the recent changes in the list, and the e-mail with notifications about changes will be sent to you. More about notifications: https://checkvist.com/auth/help#notifications

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · November 08, 2014

Hello Shankha Das,

Checkvist doesn't remove list items immediately, they can be restored in a case of accidental deletion (but currently only we can do it, so you should write e-mail about this).

Also, Checkvist provides backup, manual for free version and automatic in Checkvist PRO plan.

All of this won't substitute real multiple revision data storage, but it is something to avoid typical data loss (data removal).

Also, we plan to provide a 'trash bin' - so removed items could be restored within a day or so after removal. Please vote/watch this request: http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/5312958-a-trash-bin-to-store-deleted-items-temporarily

Thanks,
KIR

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · January 01, 2013

Olli, thanks for the suggestion, but the main difficulty here is a to create a living infrastructure for task history (this is a lot of work).
When to create list snapshots is a secondary question, you approach could work as well.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · September 27, 2012

@Aurelijus sorry to hear that :(. The only thing I could offer so far is to enable daily backups in Checkvist.

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) responded

By the moment, you can modify Checkvist presentation in the PRO plan. You can alter some colors, and provide advanced custom CSS styles which allow to change the font size. But this requires hard CSS coding. We need to provide simple way to specify different styles for a list.

The sample CSS for reducing font size in the list is:
ul.topLevel li { font-size: 12px;}
ul.topLevel ul li, ul.topLevel ul li.task { font-size: 10px;}

Sorry, no documentation on that. A sample styles are shown in the status of this request. If you have a specific request - please let me know.

By the way, there is a specific trick. If your list item has tags, the div for the list time has tags with name like tag_<tag name goes here>. Just in case :)

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I'm afraid, checkboxes in notes is an exception case we would not implement, because it is against our vision on how they should be used. Moreover, it is difficult technically to keep states of checkboxes there.

Sub-items is a supposed way to go for such cases.

Kind regards,

AdminKirill Maximov (Admin, Checkvist) commented · January 19, 2017

Hello,

Could you explain why would you want to add checkboxes to notes? It is reasonable to have a minor list in a note, but why have a checkbox? It cannot be completed - it is not a task.

Kind regards,
Bug? After accidentally closed an item and reopened it, the note attached to it is gone.

A possible solution - on 'ct', show list of tags for selected items (first item - 'all tags'), and allow to select name of the tag which would be deleted.

Right now there is no way to filter by a specific date - only by some date intervals.
