Abstract: Efficiency improvements for electronic task managers and an improved user experience are realized when more relevant and fewer irrelevant tasks are presented to users and users are given greater control in manipulating those task items. By heuristically determining times, locations, and semantics associated with task relevance and integrating the management of tasks into more applications, the functionality of the systems providing for electronic task management is improved, as computer resources are spent with greater utility to the users and the user experience is improved for the users.

Abstract: Presenting and manipulating task items includes creating a task item within a productivity application in association with a content item created with the productivity application and assigning the task item to one or more users. When the task item has been assigned, the task item is displayed to each user when each users opens the productivity application, or when the productivity application is already open to the user. User activity is then monitored in relation to the content item that is associated with the task item such that metadata for the user activity is captured. Based on the captured metadata, the users are alerted to the user activity that has occurred on the content item.
