Graffiti writing area automatically creates a new item.
Setting priority
The priority setting for items lets you arrange the tasks in your To Do 
List according to their importance or urgency. The default setting for 
the To Do List is to arrange items by priority and due date, with 
priority 1 items at the top. If you have a number of items in your list, 
changing an item’s priority setting may move its position in the list. 
Note:When you create a new To Do List item, its priority is 
automatically set to level 1, the highest (most important) level. 
If you select another item first, however, the item you create 
appears beneath the selected item and is given the same 
priority as the selected item.
