Set Up the Unprocessed Tasks List

by | Jun 12, 2022

You learned these steps when you configured the All Categories view, so this view can be set up quickly.

  1. Go to the Task view manager.
  2. Highlight All Categories. Copy and rename it “Unprocessed Tasks”. Select This folder, visible only to me (or This folder, visible to everyone if you are using Exchange Server).
  3. In Group By change it to (none) (don’t group anything), then click OK.
  4. In Sort change it to Modified, Descending, then by (none), then click OK. Do not add the Modified field when asked.
  5. Go to Filter.
  6. Go to the SQL tab and click Edit these criteria directly.
  7. Copy the following text: 
    ("https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/811c000b" = 0 AND ("urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" IS NULL OR ("https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062003-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/81050040" IS NULL AND "https://schemas.microsoft.com/mapi/id/{00062008-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}/8503000b" = 0 AND "urn:schemas:httpmail:importance"<> 2)) AND NOT "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" LIKE '%S/M%' AND NOT "urn:schemas:httpmail:importance"= 0 AND NOT "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office#Keywords" LIKE '%Templates%')
  8. Paste the text into the SQL box, replacing all existing text.
  9. Click all the OK buttons until you get to your task list.
  10. Resize the columns as needed.
  11. Your Unprocessed Tasks view is complete.

Your list, if you have any tasks, should show most-recently-added unprocessed tasks at the top. The tasks should not be grouped.
