Writing:
- I create a project folder name & a boolean (y/N) field w the same name
- I create a grid with the project name as it's source of all data (this automatically collects all the data that is identified with the boolean y/n field of the same name)
- I use IQ's excellent clipper to import research as I find it. IQ faithfully reproduce web data including graphics very easily in MHT or HTML formats except when the data is hidden behind passwords as in HTTPS sites. Then a different procedure can be used.) I tend to favor MHT because it keeps all the data in one place -- yes, within IQ
- If I get a random idea, I can quickly jump to my journal, make a note & tag it with the project name field
- I re-arrange (drag/drop) research items & notes into some kind of pre-lim order. From there I can either print outline to html (children are collapsable) or join items in the outline, etc.
- I create a sub-folder called Drafts - Project NAME
- I create a new sub-item called draft 1, etc

So my writing project grid may look something like this:
Project Name                                                        Due Date                      Publication               # Words               DoneDate
  clipping # 1
  clipping # 2
  note # 1
    note # 2
DRAFT Folder
   draft # 1                                                                                                                                          325 words
   draft # 2                                                                                                                                          300 words
   FINAL                                                                                                                                              298 words               done date

With this grid I can easily:
change the order of columns (drag / drop) (or hide them all)
change the order of the clippings / notes (drag / drop)
edit the clippings in MHT or HTML
edit the notes in either MHT or HTML
Join some of the items together
clip / drop from note or clipping to draft etc.
write in html or MHT window
I can easily arrange it just to have a full screen to work with while I write

When I'm finished I can email it directly out of IQ. I can then mark the project name (parent done) In my case this changes the color of the font to grey & adds a done date. I can then archive the project, leave it, export it as a separate IQ file & delete it in the main dB or leave it alone.

BTW, I also created a form in which contains the following fields
Publication:
Publication date:
Due date:
# of words
Done date:

I can also mark any item as priority, pending, follow up, etc so if
I've got a call into a source but waiting for them to call back, it can be listed as pending with telephone # & any notes

TASKS
Import email w one click / enter / add / clip an item by any means in any grid & mark it as a task, pending, followup or whatever name you want to give it. Give it a due date or priority color or font style, i.e. bold, etc. inject a color into the background to attract your attention for different priorities. Example: red= important, Yellow = pending, Green = ready to go, Grey = done.

The choices are pretty much endless.

There's much I've left out. But I hope / think I've provided enough info so you can see that your choices of how to organize data in InfoQube is probably limited only by your imagination. It is completely flexible. It is also completely stable. Getting data into the program couldn't be simpler. It's fast & accurate. There are extensions available both for Firefox & Thunderbird. There is also an outlook style calendar available in the program. It can be used now w reminders, recurring dates, etc. The data shows up in the grids but currently you cannot upgrade the calendar from the grid. This is coming as the developer knows this is a priority for many users.

The manual as such has been written by users so it is more user friendly than many manuals written by devleopers, i.e. it is less techie & more user friendly since, by definition, it is written from a user's POV.

Being so flexible is like working w a 2 edged blade. You can do anything with it but you have to learn how to do it & that may take a little longer. There are some quirks to the program (some expected, some un-expected) but by and large -- IMO -- and I have used a lot of this type of program going all the way back to Lotus Agenda -- once you understand a few building blocks & how they interact, the rest of it falls into place.

For a # of months I kept 2 programs going simultaneously so I could see how to organize what I was doing in program 1 with program 2.

IMO -- when IQ V.1 is released, it will probably have more going for it than many other programs of this ilk (including UltraRecall).
