Managing tasks

Hi friends!

I would like to hear suggestions from the members about the best way to make a consistent task list that I can check and Uncheck as I proceed in my long document.

 

In other words I would like to write the tasks for **each page** that I have to complete and be able to mark them as completed and then I could walk through the document to see which pages of outstanding tasks that I have to complete.

I understand that I could theoretically use notes to mark what I have done what I have to do but it doesn't seem that that is the correct way to do things.

Tahnk you

You could add the list to the pasteboard on both sides of the parent pages 

Then on each page override the pasteboard item - and maybe have colour red paragraph style for incomplete and a colour green for completed paragraph style. 

 

that way you can visually see if you have any outstanding items as they are in red. 

You could probably use conditional text to hide/unhide tasks that are completed/uncompleted. 

I'd set these as non-printing on a non-printing layer for safety of course.
