Managing folders and other items
Desktop edition
The three panes
This main application window has three vertical panes. The left pane
displays the hierarchy of folders as a tree structure, the middle pane
shows the contents of the current folder as a list of items, and the
right
pane shows the current item.
Creating new items
You create new items by pressing the New item (green
plus) button at the top of the middle pane. A drop-down menu will allow
you to
choose one of the predefined types of items allowed in the current
folder.
If you choose to create a new folder, a dialog will pop up asking
for a folder title. After providing a title, press Enter/Return
on your keyboard and the new folder will be displayed in the
second pane.
If you choose a non-folder item, an icon specific to that choice
will appear in the middle pane, and the right pane will display an
empty form for you to fill in. When you are finished entering your
data, you must click the Save button (green
checkmark) at the top of the pane, saving your data and
“naming” the item with the first line of data you entered.
Your new item will be displayed in the middle pane and if it is a
folder,
you will see it in the left pane as well.
NOTE: You can also create new items using the context menu on the
middle and left panes.
Browsing folders
In the left pane, the folder structure is represented as a tree
structure. Each folder can be collapsed or expanded in order to hide
folders that are not important at the moment. This technique is called
outlining. To toggle the expanded state of a folder, simply
double-click on the folder icon or click the small triangle.
Select the folder you wish to work with by clicking its icon in
the left pane. Its contents and title are then displayed in the middle
pane. Also, the full path to that current folder is
shown on the main toolbar.
You can navigate back to the previous folder by clicking the Back
button or selecting it in the left pane. You can also navigate up to
the parent folder of the current folder by pressing the Backspace
key or selecting View > Go up one level from the main menu.
Changing a folder title
To change a folder’s title, click on the folder’s icon
and select the Edit command from the main or context menu. If
the
folder’s icon is already in the second pane, you can just click
on it and an editable box will appear in the third pane enabling you to
make changes.
Viewing and editing item details
When you select an item in the middle pane, its details will be
displayed in the right pane.
Here you can edit the item details of both new and existing
items. Press the Edit button represented by the pencil icon at
the top of the right pane. After making your changes, press the Save
button (green checkmark). These commands can also be
accessed through the main menu.
NOTE: Edit, Save and Cancel commands can be
executed by the corresponding keyboard shortcuts – F2, Ctrl+S
(Cmd+S on Mac) and Esc.
NOTE: You can also start editing a note by clicking on its icon in
the middle pane.
Deleting an item
To delete a selected item, select the Edit > Delete menu
item or just press the Delete key.
NOTE: You can also select Delete in the context menu on
the left and middle panels.
Android edition
Folders screen
The Folders screen displays the contents of the current
folder. Initially, the top folder of the folders structure is

data entries. To display the Folders screen, touch Folders

Creating new items
You

allow you to choose one of the predefined types. If you choose to
create a new folder, a dialog will pop up asking for a folder title. If
you choose a non-folder item, an empty form will be
displayed where you can fill in
your data. When you are finished with your data, touch the Save
icon (checkmark sign) and you will see the new item listed on the Folders
screen.
Browsing folders
You can browse folders on the Folders screen. Touch a folder
to open
it. To return to the previous folder, press the Back key. The
path to the current folder is always displayed at the top of the

or use the Back key.

the previous folder and if there is no previous folder it will navigate
to the parent folder.
