Bookmarks

In JXCirrusDiary, it is possible to create entries anywhere in the tree. In reality, though, you problably have a couple of common places where you want to create lots of entries. For example, you might have a list of jobs for the month, and most of the new jobs are going to end up there.

Bookmarks provide a shortcut way of creating jobs in one or two standard locations... If you want to provide a shortcut to your monthly task list, just mark it as a bookmark, then you can use Add on the main page to create a new task there without having to find it in the tree.

Any entry can be used as a bookmark as long as it can have child entries. If you have an entry that allows you to have child tasks, and you mark it as a bookmark, then it will be available to the Add Task function. If you have an entry that allows you to have child journal entries, and you mark it as a bookmark, then it will be available to the Add Journal function (etc etc).

How to set them...

Setting them is easy:

This entry will now be able to be used as a bookmark. If you end up with too many bookmarks, then you can switch them off by unticking the check box.

How to use them...

There are 2 ways to use them:

  1. From the menu, select Add then Add Task (or Add Journal etc etc) (for Desktop JXCirrus Diary/Project)
  2. From the toolbar - Just use the Add Task icon.

These options for each of the entry types (Tasks, Appointments, Journal entries, People and Addresses) are only available if there is a bookmark in the tree that allows children of that type. For example, if there are no bookmarks that allow child entries which are people, then you cannot use the Add Person function.

If you have just one bookmark of that type, pressing Add ... will create that entry straight away. If there is more than one bookmark, you will have to pick the one you want to use.
