I would love to be able to see if a task has notes! Are you referring to actually printing the entire notes next to tasks, clientcontrol? And do you mean 'printing' to screen or actual printing on paper lists?

I would like the ability to print notes with lists...to paper and the screen. The problem right now is that I want RMilk to manage my to-do list AND help me manage projects.

When my boss asks me what I have been doing, I want to print the task out with all the supporting documentation behind the list.

Better control of printing is a place that could improve greatly.

I would like this feature as well for the same reason. I love using RTM, and I could use its awesome search features to print a weekly report for my boss (completedBefore and completedAfter). But right now the search results would create more work. I would have to duplicate what is in the notes to my boss.
Something like a flag in settings would work where users could turn off and on notes printing for lists and search results would work great for me.

I agree. Sometimes I may only have 3-4 lines of notes expanding on the task, and would love to have the option to have it print right out there in my list.

Posted 5 years ago

Agreed; this is one of two features preventing me from adopting (and paying for) RTM as my task management solution. It would be ideal to be able to have notes print out with any list print out.

Posted 5 years ago

Agreed - please add an option to print on the print-out list!

I, too, have been hoping for this ability to print notes with a task list. Any news on the development on this feature?

Posted 4 years ago

I vote for this feature also. I will mass enter many tasks for a project and would like to be able to print the notes for the tasks that are due this week. I keep things like phone numbers or minitasks in the notes and need them to be able to complete the tasks.

I agree to this suggestion....printing task with notes is important!

I've just started using RTM and I too use the notes to expand on the task itself, and I would like to be able to print out the notes with the task when printing out a task list.

Could someone let us all know if this feature going to be introduced.

Posted 4 years ago

Ditto for me

Posted 4 years ago

Just started using RTM two days ago and I'm already enthusiastic about it. Printing notes with a list was one of the first things I looked for in the Help files. While I'm disappointed it's not part of the feature set, it's not a deal-breaker for me. Is there some word from the developers about whether or not it's something they plan to add?

Hi all, this one is on the list for the developers. Unfortunately I can't give you any indication of possible implementation. When I have news I will pass it on. We are definitely aware how popular this is.

Posted 4 years ago

I second this idea, glad to see is "under development"

Posted 4 years ago

I believe that incorporating note taking into the list itself would be a great way to advance RTM as a whole.

Few points about what I'd like to see:
1) Font/Color Alterable notes which could be expanded downward from any task
2) RTM could lock any note to always show for a task
3) The active task would always show it's expanded note field
4) You could expand/collapse all task notes at once

I'd like the option to have the notes appear in the reminder that is sent to my phone.

please print notes

also - notes can be converted into an area to create subtasks for sure

Agree with everyone-- notes are useless unless I can print them in a list so that my day really is taken care of.

and one more vote for printing a list of tasks with attached notes. I use for project descriptions and project tracking.

I am a new user of rtm, but the possibility to see notes in list (especially in printed lists) would make this tool really helpful.
Thanks

when you send (for example every morning at 5am) a reminder to your email inbox,
you have your list if you can print your email.

RTM wil do this for you with the right settings>reminder.

Posted 3 years ago

That only works if you want to print things that are due today.

I would LOVE to see this feature added! As it is, I have to put ALL the additional info into the task line in order for it to print out, and it gets quite messy. Perhaps viewing notes underneath the tasks--expanding via a little plus sign or similar--could be an option?

We put phone #s in the notes (i.e. the task is to schedule an appointment or order something), and would like to take a printed copy so we can call while in transit. Having the notes printed is CRUCIAL to do this type of thing.

I really, really, really need this. Every time something happens to a task, I put a Note to it with the date as the first part of the text of the Note, and I need to be able to print out Tasks and Notes something like the following:

It would be helpful for me to at least have a notes icon in list view to alert me a note exists for a task. When I open the task to view it, the note is visible. I just need an alert to check it. I can see how others need the ability to print for work. Maybe we all get so bogged down in wanting RTM to to be everything for us that we forget just what a great app it is and how much it does for us already. Gratitude noted. Thanks RTM! (Moto Droid)

Same thing here... It would be awesome if we could print our task lists with all supporting notes. Another thing that I would like to mention, is that when I print a list, the individual tasks are way too close to each other on the paper and there is no room to write anything by hand. I print tasklists for my employees and they are complaining that there is no room between the tasks for them to write.

Thanks for considering my thoughts.

Posted 2 years ago

Yes I need this to. I want to be able to print the Task List - but with the notes inline.

This request has been sitting around for 3 years - any sign of progress?

I would like a view, not only where you can print the notes with the tasks, but you can also view them all together on the screen...

Add me to that list of folks wanting to print the notes! I saw the tip on printing the Atom Feed, and that will work for now. It isn't pretty or easily readable though. I'll be busting out my highlighters!

Posted 2 years ago

This is one of my biggest complaints about RTM. Right now, I only use RTM as a weekly planner. If RTM allowed for notes to be printed with my weekly to-do list, RTM would become more integrated with my daily life by another couple of notches.

One strong vote for the ability to print notes here.

My job duties keep expanding and expanding and I'm thinking I need to go to another task management tool (Co-Human, Manymoon, etc), but I REALLY know how to use RTM well. Sub tasks are not important since I have a great system for turning any task that branches on me into a Project List (pj-PROJECT HERE), so that's simple. But being able to see the particulars of a task are really, really important. If there is any thought to making this happen, please let us know. Also, if anyone has a work around I could use one YESTERDAY!!!

Add another vote for this feature ...

Each week I produce a "Task Completed" list to provide to my client, at the moment the title is all that's listed. It would be great to have the extra information provided (Report Style) that's avaliable in the notes.

Since this has now been an open issue for over 3 years could we have it soon?

Thanks :)

lizbennett

Yes please, this would be really helpful for regular progress meetings.

Posted 1 year ago

It's really important to we see in only one file the tasks and comments of each one, like a minute of a meeting (tasks) with their solutions (decisions / solutions)

Posted 1 year ago

please!

I too provide a printed "task completed" list to my customers. I was suprised when i could not include the notes. Looks like this has been requested for about four years. It may not have the most votes but must be one of the oldest requested features.
Thanks for a great program. would be lost without it

Posted 1 year ago

I also use RTM to make a shared agenda for meetings and you need the notes to elaborate on the task name.
Being able to print this is very high on my agenda!

Agreed, please let users print notes

Posted 1 year ago

Printing notes in a list would also be very beneficial for me. I am a new user, and just expected this would be a default option. As others have commented I also use some lists for agendas and elaborate on the headers in the notes. Any idea how soon this feature may be available?

Posted 1 year ago

I think its clear that a lot of RTM users want to print notes to take to meetings. And it's pretty common as 37signals' Basecamp has put time into it:

http://37signals.com/svn/archives2/new_in_basecamp_significantly_improved_print_layouts.php

Posted 1 year ago

Please RTM, WE NEED this feature : please do ti, it should not be that complicated. Thanks.

Posted 1 year ago

Agreed. And I'll go so far as to say it'd be great if there were options to specify how much Note content to include in a display/print.

E.g. when selecting Print from a list, it would be ideal for the user to first be prompted with the following options, specifying the inclusion of any/all notes for each issue in resulting list:

Print List only (no Notes)
Print List With Last nnn Notes (where 'nnn' is an entered number)
Print List With Notes Entered in Last nnn Days (where 'nnn' is an entered number)
Print List with All Notes

As others have said, being able to show notes in a Print view is important in order to provide meaningful status reports to others who aren't working issues directly in RTM.

Naturally notes can be lengthy, so providing the option to show none/some/all are best so the user can decide how many they want to include.

Posted 1 year ago

Agreed - please add an option to print on the print-out list!

if i had this, i would have my meeting preperation ready to print instantly. like it is now, notes are useless to me. i keep them in evernote for meeting preperation. which is not convenient at all, as i need to see the tasks in evernote and compile the preperation manually.

should be easy to realize as well, isnt it?

Posted 10 months ago

skedzinger

how can 1/5 not like this idea. the option for that would not change anything for the people who don't see the (in my mind obvious and substantial) benefits for this.
