Description Thomas Ehrnhoefer

I have multiple queries that I don't want to see in my focused task list. Those queries are used for other than day-to-day use cases (e.g. reporting). However by nature of those queries, the results will be duplicates, so my Task List gets polluted. There seems to be no way to prevent this, especially if it's for tasks that I completed today. Right now, I have 7 tasks completed today, which means I have 14 items in my focused task list I don't want to see, but can't hide (yes, there is a side issue of not wanting to see completed-today).

Marking some of my queries as hidden would solve this issue for me. Might be an edge case though, but I don't see a big problem in exposing this.

You can either use the "Hidden" option in the query popup menu or move the "reporting" queries to a separate working set or switch to the Scheduled presentation. We don't have plans to add additional filtering capabilities at the moment.

Is that a 3.7 feature? Can't see it on 3.6

You have to enable "Show Hidden Queries" in the Task List view menu in order to hide them.
