Abstract

A method, apparatus, and a user interface for managing and prioritizing items in a list are provided. Each item in the list is associated with and displayed adjacent to a user interface control for flagging the associated list item. When selected, the user interface control is operative to flag the corresponding list item. Moreover, the user interface control is further operative to change its visual state to indicate that the corresponding list item is flagged. List items flagged by other users appear differently. When again selected, the user interface control is further operative to remove the flagged state for the corresponding item and to set the state of the item as completed.
