Abstract: A method performed by a computing system includes generating a to-do list user interface comprising a user actuatable list element corresponding to a particular entry on a to-do list associated with a user, and a user input mechanism actuatable to perform a to-do list management function comprising at least one of adding a new entry on the to-do list, deleting an existing entry on the to-do list, and modifying an existing entry on the to-do list. The method includes generating an agenda associated with the user, the agenda comprising an agenda item having an associated time period, and detecting a flick gesture on the user actuatable list element on the to-do list user interface, and adding, based on the detected flick gesture, an agenda item to the agenda associated with the user, the added agenda item corresponding to the particular entry on the to-do list.

Abstract: A to-do list management system surfaces a user interface with a user input mechanism that displays a user actuatable element for each item on a user's to-do list. It senses a flick gesture and automatically moves a to-do list item to the user's agenda. It can also sense a user input gesture and automatically remove an agenda item from the user's agenda, and place it on the user's to-do list.

Abstract: Efficient creation of a new schedule item is provided. Aspects include a quick create system for enabling an efficient schedule item creation experience when utilizing a scheduling application, such as a calendar application, a task list application, or a to-do list application, or an application with scheduling functionalities. A user can select a quick create option to cause a display of one or more icons designating predefined or learned schedule item types, which can be automatically or selectively moved to a desired timeslot in the user's schedule. In some examples, an icon can be dragged laterally within a timeslot to toggle between schedule item types. When a commitment input is received, a new schedule item is inserted into the user's schedule, and schedule item details are automatically populated into the schedule item based on existing schedule items or based on preset schedule item types.

Abstract: Enhanced input field features and techniques for displaying and resolving location information in meeting items are provided. In response to a user's interaction with a place name displayed in the location field of a user interface for a meeting item, up to date information is retrieved about the location associated with the place name from a web service and displayed. The display can include a map image tile. In addition to enabling the displaying of up to date information, during creation of the meeting item, the location input field of a meeting item can present location suggestions from within the location input field, for example, as a drop-down listing of possible locations. The suggestions for completing a user's input text string to the location input field can be obtained from sources such as a web service, a mailbox, a managed database/directory service, a history cache/database or a combination thereof.
