Since Info-Base a "Freeform Database" is and almost all parameters can be adapted to your own needs and tastes, it's hard to describe the various possibilities. The ingenuity and the imagination of the user are no limits ...
Try it out and find the best settings and rules for yourself !
And these rules can always be changed and adapted to your own wishes. For this, the search/exchange in all stacks is a useful tool.
If the file Templates.ubi in the data directory is deleted, a new one with the defaults will be created at the next start. They can serve as examples and can be easily adapted.
I shall limit myself, only 5 of my rules to mention as inspiring examples briefly:
1. Quick notes
These are elsewhere (usually the Internet) found data of addresses to entire articles about specific topics. Since the most runs with hotkey Ctrl+Shift+Q over "Clip import", a template (the first two) is necessary to:
*{{dd.mm.yyyy}} or clearly with daily counter: *{{dd.mm.yyyy}}-{{%9}}
and from this arises, for example, after some tweaking such a note:
the link or the name of the program is automatically inserted at the end.
The "*" before the data is used to possibly sort the stack by creation date, and is also an "internal link" is important. The list can be found easily with local (= in the open stack) or global (= inall stacks) on each string in the Search text back.< /FONT>< /FONT>
A reference (hyperlink, Ctrl+H) to this note would look like this:
*29.12.2013 Info-Base - Personal \\Muster¦29.12.2013
Or more unique with (Title link, Ctrl+I):
\\notes¦*29.12.2013°Info-Base°-°Personal
2. Books
For each new book, article, magazine articles etc. a note is created with the template:
Books~o_ j_ a_ <B{{0000}}x> *{{dd.mm.yyyy}} |l_
and then yields, after completing such as:
The first line always contains the most
meaningful information, the title of the note, and in the second follow
technical information and possibly during the day. Here (with "_" as a field
symbol for Ctrl+Tab): Publication (or magazine), publication
year, in "<>", the data type with consecutive numbers (the "x" for
uniqueness verschiedenstelliger numbers), date with a leading "*" and the tag
symbol with a leading space) and the various tags.
After the second line is always followed by a
blank line for clarity, and then with "l_" the jump point for the actual
observations, texts etc.
Such a note may in the Info-Base (uniquely) to link (hyperlink, Ctrl+H or titellink, Ctrl+I) and would look like this everywhere:
author: title \\Base¦B12345x
From this we can now easily create a template (just as long as you read the book) for the "gleanings" make:
1. author, title \\Base¦B12345x p_<N> *{{dd.mm.yyyy}} |tag|l_
or without a link so:
1. author, title B12345x s_<N> *{{dd.mm.yyyy}} |tag|l_
and generate fast (without unnecessary typing) a note:
If the link is omitted, with a Click on "B12345x" and following Ctrl+G, a global search can be started on all batches and you'll find not only the book itself, but also all references it.
3. Music
Similarly, the "Music" stack is built for all CDs, DVDs and files and is generated from this template:
&Music~+m_ a_ r_ <M> *{{dd.mm.yyyy}} |**| ^00.00.0000 - [0:00]l_
Such a note e.g. may with Synchronize file
link
automatically displayed when playing
and "remembered".
In addition to the usual classification,
artist, director, orchestra and conductor is the date of the last hearing (after
^), duration and date and size of the file listed. The link to the file will be
created with this template:
%link%^{%date% ^°%size%}
4. Addresses
For addresses I use the template:
&Adresses~<A> *{{dd.mm.yyyy}} |tag|----------------------------------------------------------
who filled such a note generated that found naturally in the stack "Addresses":
In fields has been omitted here in order to accept the address faster with copy/paste can.
5. Tags
I use a lot of tags to categorize content. (e.g. above under 3. Music there are 3 codes on the sample sheet). Sometimes I am not so sure about their meaning and would like to have a more detailed explanation, a definition, so to speak.
I use this template:
&Tags~? |l_
which generates such a note:
Here now any kind of explanations, hints and links etc. can be added. will be entered. The notes
created in this way are in their own stack together with other
rules and conventions.
If now, for example. is
globally Ctrl+G searched for a code in the music stack, this
explanatory note also appears in its stack in addition to the notes searched for
in the music stack.
