Personal Information Management (PIM) Features

Work Time Studio works as a personal information manager, and outliner, allowing you to create, edit, save, and organize your notes, information, file links, URL links, and more. You can either enter notes as individual WorkItems, or store notes within your project and task WorkItems. Either way, your notes will be quickly available with a click of your mouse.

Outliner Software capabilities

Work Time Studio provides robust outliner software cabablilites, with it's full featured RTF editor, and the ability to organize your notes right with your other WorkItems in a tree hierarchy. Once saved, you can easily move them around in the hierarchy. You can also save URL and file links for any WorkItem in your tree, using drag & drop.

Event Reminders

Need a little help remembering meetings, due dates, deadlines, or even lunch time? Let Work Time Studio remind you! With WorkItem events, you have a variety of reminder options. You can specify the reminder to have a specific lead time, that is, to be triggered at a certain duration before the event if you'd like. You can choose to be reminded with either a reminder popup or the reminders manager. You can even specify where on your monitor the reminder popup will appear, and how long it will be displayed until it closes automatically. You can also snooze the reminder, so that it will remind you again at a later time.

Add or Drag and Drop URL's Into Your Notes

In addition to adding URL's to the Links Pane, you can also add them to your notes. Just drag and drop a URL from your web browser right into your notes to form a hyperlink to that web page. You have the option of viewing a hyperlink edit dialog after dropping the URL into the notes, to edit the url title, or bypassing the url edit dialog. Simply click on the link in your notes to open the web page in your default browser.

Show or Hide Table Grid Lines

When using tables in WorkItem Notes, you have a variety of display options for each table. One handy option is the display of grid lines in the table, which you can turn on and off. The grid lines do not display when you are in print preview mode, or when when you print the note. They are only shown in editing mode. Having the ability to turn the grid lines off shows you how the table and contents will look like on the printed page.

Save Links to Your Favorite Websites

The Links Pane allows you to save links to your favorite web sites. Just drag and drop the URL from your browser into the Links Pane, or right onto a WorkItem. Work Time Studio will fetch the title of the web page, and use it for the title when it adds the URL link to the Links Pane. Just double click on any of your saved URL links to open the site in your default browser. You can also add a description to your URL links, as well as edit the title or URL.

Doing this will toggle the check mark on and off, and will also show the text for that item in strikout font. That way, you can quickly see which items in your check lists have been completed and which ones are still outstanding.
