To add new reminders to any Reminder List in the MacNail
construction scheduling software:
1. Type in appropriate
information in the first blank line at the bottom of the reminder list.
2. If you need more blank lines, choose *Add Rows at Bottom from the Edit menu.
WARNING: Never use Excel's "Insert" menu command. It can cause serious damage to the formulas in
a MacNail Reminder List.
3. If you want to add a reminder at a place other than the bottom rows, click in the desired row and choose
*Add Rows Here from the Edit menu. A new blank line will be inserted at the selected location.
To remove reminders
from the Reminder List when they are completed:
1. First drag the mouse through any cells in the row or rows that you would like to delete.
2. If you want to remove the reminder permanently, choose *Delete Rows from the Edit menu.
3. If you want to double-check the item before it is removed permanently, choose *Delete/Double-Check
from the Edit menu. The rows will be removed from the reminder list, and transferred to the Double Check List.
NOTE: After you have checked to make sure the item has really been completed, you can remove it from
the Double Check List with the *Delete Rows command.
4. As you delete completed reminders from the MacNail
project management software, the unfinished reminders will gradually rise to the top of
the list. This puts the oldest (and usually most urgent) items at the top, where they are more likely
to attract results.
Getting Reminders from the Master Reminder List
The Master Reminder List allows you to type
in different reminders from many different jobs at one time. After you have typed them in,
you can use the Master Reminder List directly, or you can move
all the reminders
to the individual reminder lists for each project.
To move all reminders from the
Master list to the individual Job Reminder Lists in one swell foop, choose *Get Master Reminders
from the Data menu. All items
will be removed from the Master Reminder List
and added
to the appropriate Job Reminder List (see page 92).
If a matching
Job Reminder List is not found for the item, it will remain in the Master Reminder List. |
