We are back, and hope you had a great weekend! Today’s module is one Jeff Hicks had told me about last week and I started playing with it. It’s a neat module that makes managing your tasks easy. His module is called PSWorkItem.
It allows you to create predefined categories with a description, that you can add your tasks too. You can even set the default category so that you don’t have to keep on typing the category name for each task for your primary category. The categories can highlighted in the color of your choosing if you need that feature. Another great feature is that you can input due dates and view tasks by a numnber of different filters. There is an option to put percentage complete which can be very useful if you have certain milestones for your code, and once you reach it you could have it automatically update PSWorkItem for you.
If you are looking for a simple task list that gets the job done, I highly recommend this, especially since you can easily integrate it into your coding. I know there are other ways, but you could even create a template of tasks that need to be completed for a project, then link that project so that after each task is run successfully, it automatically completes it for you.
I know Jeff has a future task of making it so you can use it with a WPF or TUI, but I’d also love to see it integrated with PowerShell Universal.
