 ## Format Views
 
-The module includes a format.ps1xml file that defines a default display when you run `Get-MyTask`. You will get a slightly different set of properties when you run `Get-MyTask | Format-List`. There is also a custom table view called Category which will create a table grouped by the Category property. You should sort the tasks first: `Get-MyTask | Sort-Object Category | Format-Table -view category`.
