Create a New List

The Create a New List screen appears when you have selected items to move from a list, tap Create a New List, or tap Select. When you type a name for the new list and tap OK, the new list contains the moved items.

The Settings screen appears when you tap Settings on the Home screen. This screen provides information about the app and offers multiple options for controlling the behavior of Mobile Worklists. See Viewing and Setting Options for more information.
