What are Types?

Accepted Answer

Types are like categories. A way to organize a collection of actions in ways that best suit how you want to see them. For example you can create a "Communication" type to list your upcoming actions using text, email or other forms of communication. 
 
Types are optional.  When used you can tap the Type button to show a menu that allows you to select actions with no Types, actions with Types or all Actions. A quick way to go between a simple list and a more comprehensive method to manage your time.

To create a Type go to the Type menu. Here to can create, rename or delete a type. To rename a type enter the name in the  replacement name box. Then tap or slide the Type name you wish to replace. To delete a Type name slide the name to the left and tap delete.  When a type is deleted the actions that use that type remain with no Type.

Edit Action: Why can't I change the date on a repeated action?
