Setting Up Ink Files - IBM TransNote User Manual

Setting up ink files

When you file pages, you
are filing a copy of the
original page into the ink
file, which you can then re-
order and edit. The original
page stays preserved in
the Current Notepad or
archive view for you to
access at any time.

One of the main features of the digital notepad is the ability to
store and, later, access handwritten ink efficiently in Ink Manager
Pro. To best use this feature:
• Decide up-front how you want to access your ink files.
• Create the ink file names in "My Ink Files" in the navigation
panel in Ink Manager Pro.
At the same time, replace the existing ink file names on the digital
notepad with the new names to match those on the navigation
panel so that the names you want to pre-assign are available in
both locations. Ink Manager Pro provides several methods to
create these ink files.
After your handwritten notes transfer to Ink Manager Pro, they
appear in the Current Notepad view in the order in which you
wrote them. You can leave them there, in their original state, or
you can "file" (copy) them into "My Ink Files." Most users prefer
to organize their notes into ink files, just as they prefer to save
their documents in folders to find the documents more easily
later.
For example, you might want to access your ink based only on
date and month. If so, you can create ink file names for each
month of the year. Or you might want to create ink files for
individual projects, customers, or departments for which you will
write notes, and later, want to access by topic.
To create ink files in Ink Manager Pro, right-click a name in the
"My Ink Files" section of the navigation panel to see the following
options, or find these options in the File menu:
