Trouble setting up GTD Outlook PlugIn - Tasks Projects

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 "Project:Project 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.
