ActiveNotes

This screen is the first you will see when using ActiveNotes. This screen shows you all your notes in a table. You should see this screen when you select the All Notes button on the bottom toolbar. You can scroll through them and select one to view or edit. Just tap on the one you want to view or change. On the top line of each item, in large type, is the title of the note. On the bottom left, in smaller type, is the group that the note has been assigned to, if any. On the bottom right is the date on which the note was first created.

You can add new notes by tapping on the Add button on the top, and you can delete notes by tapping on the Del button.

This screen shows the Notes text area with a Keyboard. Enter your note, and tap on Save to save the note or Cancel to cancel your editing. You can use the Return key on the keyboard to enter a carriage return to get to a new line. As with all iOS device text areas, when editing text, you can reposition the cursor by holding your finger down until a magnifying glass appears and then you can drag it to where you want the cursor to be.

Almost all of the screens also work in landscape orientation, however this screen is the most useful one in that orientation, as it allows the use of a larger, easier to use keyboard.

This screen shows you the contents of an individual note. You will see this screen after tapping on one of the note entries in the All Notes, Groups or Search screens. You can then...

• edit the note, by tapping on the Edit button on the top right of the screen
• set the font, by tapping on the Set Font button on the bottom left of the screen
• set the group that the note will belong to, by tapping the Set Group button on the bottom middle of the screen
• mail the note, by tapping on the Mail Note button on the bottom right of the screen
• scroll the note, by dragging inside the note text
• return to the list of notes, by tapping on the button on the top left of the screen

This screen shows all the groups. You should see this screen when you select the Groups button on the bottom Toolbar. You select a group to see all the notes assigned to that group. You can add or delete groups from the Tools menu which can be reached by tapping on the Tools button on the bottom toolbar. ActiveNotes installs two groups automatically when it is first started, Personal and Business. You can delete these groups if you don't want them. All items that are not assigned to a group are automatically placed into the (unassigned) group, which cannot be deleted. The (unassigned) group can be hidden via the Settings Tool.

This screen shows the Search Screen. You should see this screen when you select the Search button on the bottom Toolbar. As you type in the search bar, the the table of notes under the search bar is updated to show any note which contains text that matches the search string that you type.

If you hit the DONE key, the keyboard is removed, allowing you to see the results of the search.

You can then tap on any of the notes in the table to view or edit that note. If you want to perform a new search, tap in the search bar to re-activate the keyboard.

This screen shows the Font Setting table. You can select the font by tapping on the font you wish and then tapping on the Save button.

This screen shows the Tools menu. From here you can add or delete groups, change program settings, export your notes via a web browser, or view the information about the program.

This screen shows the Settings page. The settings allow you to...

• Allow the items in the main list or grouped lists to be sorted alphabetically. If this setting is off, then the items will be shown in the order they were entered. Note that turning this setting on will sort the items alphabetically, and the original order will be lost.
• The items that are not assigned to a group are automatically assigned to a permanent group called (unassigned). This setting allows you to show or hide that group.
• The keyboard auto-correction feature, which suggests corrected typing when the iOS device detects what it determines is a spelling error, can be turned on or off.
• The keyboard auto-capitalization feature, which automatically capitalizes words at the beginning of a sentence, can be turned on or off.
• The export password, which is a one-time password used to authorize access to your notes when the Export tool is used, can be set to DualCase, or for easer typing, just lowercase.
• The default font, which is used for all newly added notes, may be set.

This is the Export Data page. You will see this screen after tapping on the Export Data button in the Tools menu, but only if you have WiFi enabled, and you are connected to a WiFi network. The screen shows the URL that you must type into the address area of your Web browser on your computer. Your computer must be on the same WiFi network as your iOS device. Once you enter the URL, the browser on your computer should show you a screen that looks like....

You should type in the password shown on your iOS device. You should then see a page that shows all of your notes, for example...

This page allows you to view the titles of all your notes. You can also download a zip file containing all the notes, or add a new note.

If you click on one of the note titles, the note will be displayed...

You can then...

• return to the list of notes
• edit the note
• download the note as a text file to your computer

If you click on the "Edit Note" button, you will be shown a page like...

You can click inside the text area to position your cursor for editing and type any changes you desire.
You can then...

• Save the edited note back to your iOS device
• Reset the edit screen back to the unedited contents, should you wish to correct typing errors
• Cancel your editing and return back to the list of notes

When you are done with all of your viewing and editing of your notes using your Web Browser, tap the "End Communication" button on your iOS device.
