Agenda Fusion 5 Preview Shots
http://www.developerone.com/
In another escalation of the Super PIM wars, Developer One is readying Agenda Fusion 5.0 for a June release.
No specifics on pricing, device requirements or new features have been given. If you buy Agenda Fusion 4.93 now though you are guaranteed a free upgrade to 5.0. In fact, if you purchased 4.90 or later you get a free upgrade according to their home page. I am sure there will be some sort of discount for those that purchased Agenda Fusion when it was 4.89 or earlier, but no details are currently available.

A "main" task with a completion date and a listing of smaller sub-tasks with completion dates that get the main task to completion. It would be nice to be able to create and save a template that had for a main task and the smaller sub-tasks so you wouldn't have to re-create the same thing over. The "sub-tasks" make my task listing rather long in AF. I've tried using AF's tasks then adding notes to them, but that takes a little too much time. Thanks for asking.

Waiting....
I am anxiously awaiting this next version as well.
I just hope they have integrated the Agenda Today screen to give you the ability to view your Today Screen plug-in's without having to go out to the Today Screen. Now that would be sweet! :rock on dude!: I forget where I got that heard that, but I think that feature is supposed to be included in the new version.
Let's hope so.....

Sounds like you are requesting nested tasks...a feature even the desktop version of Outlook does not have. This would require AF to manage the structure of the task list using a database to keep track of the relationships of the various tasks and could get quite complicated. Worse yet if you have to perform a restore and the main task gets a new ID (ActiveSync has a tendency to do so) then all the subtask info linked to that task ID would be lost (or difficult to assign). Given the limitations imposed on both AF and PI by choosing to use the native PIM databases, nested tasks while doable could result in data corruption or loss should things go wrong. With all that said, if you must have nested tasks I would recommend that you take a look at Pocket Informant, ListPro, etc.
If you are an AF user like me and want to have pseudo nested tasks then you can try this. Create a main task and assign it a priority of A1 for example. Then create your subtasks and assign each a priority of Ax (where x is the level in the heirarchy of the subtask). If you sort the task list according to priority then all the Ax tasks will be grouped according to their priority. To create another "grouped task" just assign a different priority letter like B for example and assign the subtasks as B1, B2...B9. This is what I have been doing and it has worked well for me.
The other alternative is to create a main task in AF that links to a ListPro file with the subtasks arranged heirarchically...when all the tasks in the listpro list are flagged completed just check off the main task in AF. The downside to this strategy is that you have to learn to use two applications instead of just one. Hope this info was helpful.
