Taskmax allows you to add three types of tasks: ToDo, Deadline, and Event. Each task can be assigned a priority level (e.g., 1 for high priority, 2 for medium, 3 for low).
To add a simple task without a deadline, use the todo command.
Format:
todo <task_description> priority <priority_level>
Example:
todo Buy groceries priority 1
Expected Output:
Got it. I've added the following tasks:
[T][ ] Buy groceries (priority 1)
Now you have 1 tasks in the list.
To add a task with a specific deadline, use the deadline command.
Format:
deadline <task_description> /by <yyyy-MM-dd HHmm> priority <priority_level>
Example:
deadline Individual Project /by 2023-10-15 1800 priority 2
Expected Output:
Got it. I've added the following tasks:
[D][ ] Individual Project (by: Oct 15 2023, 06:00 PM) (priority 2)
Now you have 2 tasks in the list.
To add an event with a start and end time, use the event command.
Format:
event <task_description> /from <yyyy-MM-dd HHmm> /to <yyyy-MM-dd HHmm> priority <priority_level>
Example:
event Party /from 2023-10-16 1400 /to 2023-10-16 1500 priority 3
Expected Output:
Got it. I've added the following tasks:
[E][ ] Party (from: Oct 16 2023, 02:00 PM to: Oct 16 2023, 03:00 PM) (priority 3)
Now you have 3 tasks in the list.
To view all your tasks, use the list command.
Format:
list
Example:
list
Expected Output:
Here are the tasks in your list:
- [T][ ] Buy groceries (priority 1)
- [D][ ] Individual Project (by: Oct 15 2023, 06:00 PM) (priority 2)
- [E][ ] Party (from: Oct 16 2023, 02:00 PM to: Oct 16 2023, 03:00 PM) (priority 3)
To mark a task as completed, use the mark command followed by the task number.
Format:
mark <task_number>
(with respect to the item number in the list)
Example:
mark 1
Expected Output:
Nice! I've marked your task as done.
Keep up the good work!
To mark a task as incomplete, use the unmark command followed by the task number.
Format:
unmark <task_number>
(with respect to the item number in the list)
Example:
unmark 1
Expected Output:
I've unmarked your task.
Don't give up on it yet!
To delete a task, use the delete command followed by the task number.
Format:
delete <task_number>
(with respect to the item number in the list)
Example:
delete 2
Expected Output:
Noted. I've removed this task:
[D][ ] Individual Project (by: Oct 15 2023, 06:00 PM) (priority 2)
Now you have 2 tasks in the list.
To search for tasks containing a specific keyword, use the find command.
Format:
find <keyword>
Example:
find party
Expected Output:
Here are the matching tasks in your list:
3. [E][ ] Party (from: Oct 16 2023, 02:00 PM to: Oct 16 2023, 03:00 PM) (priority 3)
To sort your tasks by priority, use the sort command. It rearranges the list from priority 1 to n.
Format:
sort priority
Example:
sort priority
Expected Output:
Here are your tasks sorted by priority:
[T][ ] Buy groceries (priority 1)
[D][ ] Individual Project (by: Oct 15 2023, 06:00 PM) (priority 2)
[E][ ] Party (from: Oct 16 2023, 02:00 PM to: Oct 16 2023, 03:00 PM) (priority 3)
To save your tasks and exit Taskmax, use the bye command
(Only exits in the CLI Version, not the JavaFX Version)
Format:
bye
Example:
bye
Expected Output:
Tasks have been saved to my drive!
I hope that you are satisfied with your service.
See you again soon!
Taskmax automatically saves your tasks to a file (data/tasks.txt) when you exit the application. The next time you start Taskmax, it will load your tasks from this file.
- Invalid Command: If you enter an invalid command, Taskmax will display a help message with instructions or prevent you from entering the command at all.
- File Errors: If Taskmax encounters an error while saving or loading tasks, it will notify you and start with an empty task list.
