Trouble setting up GTD Outlook PlugIn - Tasks Projects

[4ster]

Hi everyone,

I have recently installed the GTD plugin for Outlook (2003). Everything seems to be going well with one exception:

When I read the GTD User Manual, it shows, under "Managing Your Tasks" and then "New Project Task Button," a screenshot of the "Tasks" section of Outlook.

In that screenshot, Projects are simply listed as "Projectroject Name", and then the Next Actions are listed under each project to which they corrospond. This is exactly how I have always wanted Outlook to work.

Unfortunately, my Outlook shows "Categories: Category Name."

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

A million thanks in advance.

Doug

Have you tried changing your view to Active Task by Project? The add-in comes with predefined views. Looking at Active Task by Project helps with the weekly review.

Got it!

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out:

The views were not installed in my Outlook for some reason, but I was able to install them using the Admin Tool and selecting "Restore GTD Folders and Views."

Thanks again.
