Inbox

Note

The feature described in this article requires Pagico v4.0 or higher.

Replacing the original QuickNotes feature, the Inbox becomes the primary “Collect” feature in your entire Pagico-based workflow.

Unlike the old QuickNotes feature which only accepts notes, and also unlike the standard Inbox concept found in the GTD system in which the Inbox only handles tasks, the Inbox in Pagico handles everything including notes, lists (tasks), and files.

The number (see screenshot above) in the Inbox item indicates the number of tasks currently stored in your Inbox. It is NOT the number of lists, notes, or files.

Information in your Inbox is included in the database search, and tasks in Inbox are also shown in the Dashboard schedule flowchart.

Categorizing and Processing

Inbox is the place for you to capture and store un-processed information as quickly as possible. When you do have time, you can sit down and digest those captured tidbits by categorizing them into the corresponding topics or contact profiles. But the Inbox is just like a fully functional topic, that means you can create new, use, re-order, edit and delete existing data just like you would in topics. So, for small tasks you can even use them and get rid of them right here in Inbox.

Inbox is accessible in all your databases

The data in Inbox is stored independently on your computer, instead of in any specific database. That means you will be able to see and use the same Inbox in all your databases. That enables you to capture information as quickly as possible, without thinking about categorizing them in the first place, thus optimizing your entire workflow.

Also, a standalone light-weight application called Pagico Helper is available for you to enter data quickly.
