The Filer Application

This unique and easy-to-use application allows you to manage your information by topics rather than by type of entry. Using Filer folders, you can organize information the same way as you would in your office. For example, suppose you have a project called “Andromeda”. In your unit you might have the names and phone numbers of three personnel involved in the project stored in one of the Tel files, two pages of meeting notes in the Notebook application, one outline describing the project in the Outline application, three action items in the To Do application, and five Andromeda meetings in the Schedule application. With the Filer, you can assign all entries related to the Andromeda project to a single folder, then simply select the folder when you want to carry out an operation such as view, print, transfer, FAX, delete, etc. This makes it possible to manage all entries related to the project as a single folder.

Press (i%i%) to open the application.
