Month View
Month View shows the current month
on top, with pink signifying the current day and green denoting
weekends. On the lower portion of the screen is appointment
and task information for the selected date. View Options
allow for dynamically sizing the Month View, Task Due count,
and whether or not details are displayed, and if so, as
either detail lines or category icons.
Tasks View
This View displays Current tasks, with
the option to add either all or x number of days' Future
Tasks and/or Completed Tasks as well. The columns labeled
Task, Start, Due, and Category can all be resized and with
one or two taps all Tasks can be sorted according to the
label tapped. A New Task entry field and search options
including text, recurring task, and alarm sorting line the
bottom of this View. Also, linking and sort by priority/
sort by category are available.
Contacts View
The Contacts View displays the names
and phone numbers of your contacts, sorted by Category.
Contacts can be shown by first, last, company, or File-As
names. A Detail Window displays information for the Contact
selected from the list below; this window can be minimized
and resized. Contacts are searchable by either letter tabs
or by a search bar that takes its place when activated.
The search bar includes a text field, a magnifying glass
to search additional Contacts other than the "closest
match" displayed in the Detail Window and a button
labeled Clr to cancel the search. Tapping-and-holding on
the selected Contact's number reveals a powerful feature
embedded in Pocket Informant: a phone dialer that dials
the selected number in the Contact's record.
Contextual Tapping-and-holding
Tapping-and-holding on different areas
of the five Views brings up related options, whether they
are options for the records themselves, or for their dates
or times. Opening the record, View/Edit Note, Linking to
either items or files, Delete, and other options are common
to all tap-and-holds for records in the Agenda, Week, Month,
and Task views, with little variation. Tapping on a Day
allows for New Appointments and Tasks. Tapping-and-holding
in blank space allows one to refresh the screen. Contextual
options and View-specific options allow for quick, easy
functionality, while keeping in mind the size of a Pocket
PC screen.
