Viewing TODO Items

To view TODO items in project, follow these general steps

  1. Open TODO tool window, as described in the procedure Showing a tool window.

    The tool window displays the encountered TODO items in several tabs:

    • All over the project (Project tab)
    • In the file currently active in the editor(Current File tab)
    • In one of the already defined scopes (Scope Based tab), which is quite useful for large projects.
    • In the current changelist, if version control support is enabled.
  2. Click the desired tab (view), and explore the list of encountered TODO items. For example, with the Scope Based view selected, one has to choose scope from the drop-down list.
    scope based todo
  3. Narrow down the list of search results by choosing scope, and applying filters.
