SMART LISTS
Smart Lists are a type of filter view, which group certain
tasks together based on specific criteria. For example, all
“Starred” to-do lists are grouped together, as are any tasks that
have been assigned to you personally. Smart Lists appear at the
top of the left-hand pane.
>> To set up Smart Lists, go to your settings. From here, you
can choose from “Auto,” “Visible,” and “Hidden.” “Auto” Smart
Lists only appear if relevant. “Visible” smart lists always appear
in the left-hand pane.
>> You can choose which lists are displayed. By default, most
options are set to “Auto.” The “All” section and “Week & Today
Settings” are set to “Hidden” and “Show All To-Dos” respectively.
You can switch between “Auto,” “Visible,” and “Hidden” for each
option via the drop-down menu.6
SHARING
You can add lists by clicking “Create List” at the bottom-
left. These lists can be shared with friends, colleagues,
and family members. To do this, select the list on the right-hand
side. Choose the “Share” button. Enter your recipient’s name or
email address in the pop-up box, then click “Save” [Image B]. An

to-do items, they need a Wunderlist account to be able to edit
them or mark them as complete.C7
