  • section*
  • category*
  • content1*
  • content2
  • number
  • date/time
  • scheduled date/time of reminder email
  • address of reminder email
  • language
  • sharing option
  • owner
  • tags

A record is mandatorily associated with a category (also called "primary category") and may be optionally associated with any number of other categories (called "tags" or "secondary categories") .

Hide/show unused sections

You can ask the program to hide / show the unused sections. i.e. the sections for which no records exists. See the Settings page.

Display order

By default, records are displayed in random order. If you want them ordered by a particular column, click the relevant column name. Each time you click the column name the sort direction changes from ascending to descending and vice versa.

Column "S"

Column "S" pertains to record sharing. Value "P" stands for "public", i.e. the associated record has been declared public by its owner and therefore it can be seen (but not edited) by anybody. A number in column "S" means a "share group number" and refers to a list of users that can see (but not edit) records marked with this number. See the Settings page, where you can configure share groups.
