Table viewPRO
See the list as a spreadsheet, with columns of your choice, sorting, filters and export.
The Table view (available on computer with Pro Mode) shows items in a table, one row per task. Turn it on with the Table button, next to List and Control Centre.
Columns of your choice
In the Columns button you choose what appears: Section, Note, Label, Assignee, Steps, Start, Date, Time, Recurrence, Status, Status since, Reminder and Link. The Title is always visible. Widths can be adjusted and your choice is saved per list.
Sort, filter and edit
- Sort — click a column header (arrows ▲▼).
- Filter — the magnifier in each column opens its own filter.
- Edit in place — click a cell (section, label, assignee, date, status, note…) to change it right there.
- Add — the last row lets you type a new item and press Enter.
Export
You can export the table data (visible columns) to CSV or Excel. The export respects the active filters.
Import from a spreadsheet
The Import button brings tasks in from an .xlsx, .xls or .csv file — handy when the plan already exists somewhere else. If the list is still empty, the button shows right in the middle of the screen.
- 1Download the template offered in the window: it comes with an example row showing the format of each field.
- 2Fill in one row per task. Only the Title is required; leave the rest blank or delete the columns you do not use.
- 3Choose the file and check what is coming in — the window tells you how many tasks it found.
- 4Read the warnings, if any: they tell you what wasn’t recognised (a label, an assignee, a badly written date) and will be left blank. You still have time to fix the sheet.
- 5Press Import.
Tip
The headers are the same ones the export writes. You can export a list, work on it in Excel and import it back.
- Sections that do not exist yet are created; existing ones are reused.
- Label, Assignee and Status are matched by the name they have in this list. A value that does not exist is skipped, and the task still comes in.
- Steps go in a single cell, separated by semicolons.
- Rows with no title are skipped, and so are columns Totil does not recognise — the window tells you about both.
Note
A task that comes with unfinished steps arrives as To do, even if the sheet says otherwise: in Totil, the status of a task with steps always comes from its steps.
