When I upgraded to macOS Ventura, I saw an Apple message that said I could create a smart list in Reminders of completed tasks. Truth is, I cannot figure out what I'm supposed to do to achieve this.

Can someone please help me?

Thank you.
 

Create a custom Smart List (taken from the Reminders Help Menu)​

  1. In the Reminders app

    on your Mac, click the Add List button

    in the lower-left corner of the sidebar.
    Note: If you have multiple reminder accounts listed in the sidebar, select a list under your iCloud account before you click Add List.
  2. Enter a name for your new reminder list.
  3. Click a color swatch to choose a color for the list.
  4. Do one of the following to choose a list icon:
    • Use a Reminders icon: Click the Reminders Icon button, then click an icon.
    • Use an emoji: Click the emoji Icon button

      , then click an emoji.
  5. Select the Make into Smart List checkbox.
  6. Specify the criteria.
    • Choose how reminders are selected: Click the “Include reminders matching” pop-up menu, then choose “all” or “any.” If you choose “all,” a reminder must match all the filters to be included in the custom Smart List. If you choose “any,” a reminder only needs to match at least one of the filters.
    • Set up the first filter: Click the first pop-up menu, choose an option (Tags, Date, Time, Priority, Flagged, Location, or Lists), then complete the filter using the other menus or fields shown (they vary depending on your choice in the first pop-up menu).
      For example, if you choose Date, you can choose among several options in the second pop-up menu (such as Today, After a Date, Specified Range, or Relative Range). If you choose Specified Range in the second pop-up menu, click the dates that appear to enter start and end dates. If you choose Relative Range in the second pop-up menu, choose In the Next or In the Past in the third pop-up menu, enter a number in the next field, choose a unit of time in the last pop-up menu, and, if you want, select the Include Past Due checkbox.
    • Add or remove filters: To set additional filters, click the Add button
      098a8b29586285f0900b18c93b141831.png
      at the right of a filter. To remove a filter, click its Remove button

      .
  7. Click OK.
Custom Smart Lists created using macOS 13 or later that use certain filters can’t be viewed on devices with macOS 12 or earlier, iOS 15 or earlier, or iPadOS 15 or earlier.
