Notes + Files

This topic is included in Life­Topix and is avail­able as an in-app-purchase in My.Agenda.

One of the most pow­er­ful fea­tures of your mobile device is its abil­ity to keep you “con­nected.”  Notes + Files lever­ages this con­nec­tiv­ity to give you unprece­dented mobile access to your elec­tronic infor­ma­tion no mat­ter where you are. With the dynamic note tak­ing capa­bil­i­ties, you can cre­ate text, audio, video, photo, or hand­writ­ten draw­ings and notes. In addi­tion, you can access notes and files in Ever­note, Too­dledo Notes, Drop­box, Sky­Drive, and Google Drive. Pow­er­ful capa­bil­i­ties let you to view, edit and save local or hosted notes, doc­u­ments and files directly from your mobile device. It even lets you save hosted doc­u­ments on your local device for safe­keep­ing so that you can access them later when you are offline. Furthermore, you can cre­ate sin­gle use or reusable check­lists and to-do lists for items such as things to do daily or any­thing else you can pos­si­bly imag­ine through the impres­sive check­list and to-do list features. And it inte­grates with other top­ics so you can, for exam­ple, access your elec­tronic resources from within the Edu­ca­tion or Travel + Places top­ics. The result is infor­ma­tion that is always available.

Make your infor­ma­tion more acces­si­ble with the Notes + Files topic.

      Hi Brian,

      To add an Ever­note note to a project in Life­Topix you need to have already signed in to your Ever­note account from “All Online Notes” accessed through the “Notes+Files” topic. Once you have signed in you can access your Ever­note notes. Each Ever­note Note can then be synced with Life­Topix by sim­ply tap­ping the sync icon (cloud with arrow com­ing down). This will cre­ate a Life­Topix note that is synced with the Ever­note note. You can now open the project you want to add the note to and tap on “Add Item” at the bot­tom of the project detail view. After tap­ping on the icon select “Choose Exist­ing” and then select “Note”. You should see the Life­Topix note that is synced with the Evern­note note. You can now add that note to the project.

      Best regards,
      Team LifeTopix

    Please con­sider allow­ing due dates / repeat­ing dates to be added to check­lists. If I want to cre­ate a check­list of tasks for deep clean­ing the bath­room and I plan to repeat this func­tion weekly, it would be nice to set this up as reoc­cur­ring instead of cre­at­ing a new check­list each time.

      Hi Berry,
      That’s a great sug­ges­tion. In 5.1 (tar­geted for the end of this month) we’ve added the abil­ity to add check­lists to the What’s Next view in Home (meant for ongo­ing check­lists like Morn­ing Rou­tine, Weekly Chores, etc.) — we’ve also added the abil­ity to clear them for eas­ier reuse. What you sug­gest is a good way to improve on that fur­ther. We look for­ward to doing that in the near future.
      Best regards.

    Can life­topix work for class man­age­ment? I travel with my ipad to see my stu­dents in work­place expe­ri­ences and won­der if this app will sup­port con­tacts, cal­en­dar, to do, reminders and notes that can be indi­vid­u­al­ized by stu­dent? I use this for every­thing and would like an app that does it all so I don’t have to travel between sev­eral apps…
    Does this sup­port hand­writ­ing and anno­tat­ing PDFs?
    Thanks! App Store is down but I would like to pur­chase soon if it can do these items.

      Hi Kirk,
      Life­Topix can do a lot for this, and specif­i­cally what you are ask­ing for is aimed at the 5.2 update tar­geted for Novem­ber (5.1 is com­ing out at the end of Octo­ber). Today, you can see all the asso­ci­a­tions by per­son (task owner, project par­tic­i­pant, trip com­pan­ion, event host/attendee, etc.). In 5.2, we plan to enhance the Peo­ple + Ser­vices topic so that for a per­son you can asso­ciate notes, reminders, audio notes, pho­tos, tasks, files, book­marks, etc. That’ll make it more effec­tive in man­ag­ing things around peo­ple — per­son by per­son.
      In our quest to make this a total orga­ni­za­tion and pro­duc­tiv­ity app, we’ll con­tinue to evolve the app based on what peo­ple use it for, so any feed­back is wel­come.
      Best regards,

    Hi
    can you add a per­son to a note, or vice versa?

      Hi Ali,
      We do plan to sup­port notes, reminders, pho­tos and other data items for Per­son, and vice versa, be able to asso­ciate a per­son with a note. We expect to do this in our 5.1 update in Octo­ber or 5.2 update in Novem­ber.

    This has to do with how I use book­marks. I rarely go to the book­mark topic. I like to asso­ciate book­marks with notes. The prob­lem I’m hav­ing is some­times I already have the book­mark in Life­Topix. There are any num­ber of rea­sons why this would be. Unfor­tu­nately there is no choice when you add the first new book­mark to a note, you are sim­ply taken to the screen to cre­ate a new note. I pro­pose that there be menu but­tons for cre­at­ing a book­mark and select­ing a book­mark. Or just add two popup but­tons that give you the choice after you press add book­mark. That would help me so much. I think it would be nice to do the same thing where you add a book­mark under a ser­vice provider. It feels a bit frus­trat­ing when you have to renter some­thing or save gmail as the first book­mark so you can get to book­mark selec­tion screen.

    Thanks guys,
    Micah

      Hi Micah,
      We agree — we had done it the way it is right now to make it sim­ple to add a new one quickly (after con­sid­er­ing both options). But we are swayed now. Will make that fix in an update soon in the near future.
      BEst regards,

    Hey guys,
    I like using check­lists. I was think­ing the other day it would be cool if in the menu where you cor­rect the spelling of an item on a check­list if there were also options to copy the item or move the item to another check­list. You could just have a page pop up with all check­lists avail­able and a search bar to find the one we need. That’d be really cool. Any­way, how­ever it is done, it would be a nice improvement.

      Agreed, Micah. Thanks for the sug­ges­tion — we’ll have our devel­op­ers fig­ure out a good way to do this.

    Hello,

    Is there any­way to import a pdf from an email straight into life topic?
    For now I only noticed the option to import from an online ser­vice like drop­box.
    And will there be sup­port for more online ser­vices in the future?

    Thank you

      Hi Anto­nio,

      Thank you for your ques­tion. In our 5.0 ver­sion (a free update for exist­ing users, tar­geted for the end of July), we have added the abil­ity to import files and book­marks and cre­at­ing notes and other items from emails. For that we rec­om­mend that you cre­ate a spe­cial email address (for exam­ple, JoeLifeTopix@gmail.com), and when you for­ward emails (that have con­tent you want to be in Life­Topix) to that account, you can con­fig­ure Life­Topix to use that email as an Email Inbox, and get items you chose directly into LifeTopix.

      We will also add the abil­ity to import PDFs and JPGs etc into Life­Topix directly from your device email app either in 5.0 or in 5.1.

      Online inte­gra­tions from Life­Topix are a key part of our strat­egy — we cur­rently sup­port Ever­note, Drop­box, Google Docs, Google Tasks, Too­dledo Tasks and Notes, Face­book, and Twit­ter. We plan to add many more down the road in the areas of files, finances, health and activ­ity, etc.

      Best regards,
      Team LightArrow

        Sorry to ask again but will the imported files be stored (optional) on the device or will they still be on the server.

        thank you

          You can store them on the device. For items that are already on an online ser­vice such as Drop­box or Google Docs, you can choose to either down­load them into Life­Topix, or just have a link to the doc­u­ment (from inside a project, trip in Life­Topix, for exam­ple), and not down­load it but view it as needed.

    When view­ing PDF files Life­Topix uses the default PDF viewer. I use a dif­fer­ent PDF viewer that allows me to anno­tate as I want to. Can Life­Topix be enhanced to use a des­ig­nated PDF app?

      Hi Joseph,
      Thanks for pur­chas­ing Life­Topix and also for your ques­tion.
      Yes, the video was recorded with the first ver­sion of the prod­uct. Since then, the color scheme, some of the icons and also the names of the 2–3 top­ics have changed slightly. Online Ser­vices is now called Book­marks as that is the pri­mary type of items stored within the topic. We have added a lot of func­tion­al­ity since then.
      We do need to redo the video with more cur­rent screen cap­tures.
      Please let us know if we can assist in any way, and as you use the prod­uct, please free to offer any com­ments or sug­ges­tions.
      Best regards,
      Team LightArrow
