I've just started using Note Flags (hey, it only took me about a year to
discover them) and while I find them very usefull, there is one feature that
would make them even more useful. I'd love to be able to hide all the checked
off items but still show the non-checkbox items (i.e. any items that don't
have a checkbox type icon).
e.g. (I'm sure somebody can come up with better wording):
[ ] Hide completed items
[ ] Show non-checkbox items
It would also be really helpful if there was more sophisticated grouping
available. For example, in my to do list, I have items to do, but I've also
got phone numbers and hours of operation (2 customized tags) as "sub-items"
(indented in the bullet list). It would be great if there was a way to have
the summary group those items under the "parent" checkbox task. Maybe a
setting on the flag definition of "group under parent when available" or
something to that effect. Currently I need to duplicate some of the info from
the task so that the phone number has context in the summary pane (e.g. "take
debris to Salem Transfer station" as task and "Salem Transfer Station:
978-xxx-xxxx" as the phone flag).
I don't know if OneNote tracks the indentation the same way as I think of it
(I'm a software developer so my mental model of the bullet list is a tree
view with each line a node), so this may be more difficult to implement than
I'm imagining.
Of course, if these things are already possible, I'd like to change my
suggestion to "make them easier to discover" (and I'd like to hear about how).
