Managing a journal with Ultra Recall?

March 30th, 2008 by admin

A new sample has recently been added to Ultra Recall, called Journal.urd. While Ultra Recall can do much more than just managing a journal, it is very good at the task, which this sample highlights. The sample demonstrates using templates and other Ultra Recall features, and contains a pre-configured journal hierarchy. A flash tutorial about managing a journal in Ultra Recall is also available here.

The Journal.urd sample shows one method of creating a journal hierarchy in Ultra Recall, but you are certainly not constrained to this design, the flexibility of Ultra Recall allows limitless configurations. The sample uses three custom templates (Year, Month, and Journal Entry), which makes it very simple to add Journal Entries which are organized by Year and Month, yet be fully searchable. Custom icons were assigned to the different templates which further highlights the different parts of the journal.

There are many reasons why Ultra Recall is a great application for a journal:

  • All data is stored in a single file: this makes it very easy to backup, or transport your journal
  • Strong password encryption: a single password will ensure your journal is secure, even if it is located on a USB drive or other transportable media
  • Powerful and flexible search capabilities: as your journal grows, you will have the confidence that you can find the information if you need to
  • Automatic spell-checking: similar to the spell-checking available in Microsoft Office, this feature helps you avoid typos
  • Custom templates: this feature is demonstrated in the sample, and is used to add structure and convenience to your journal experience
  • Ability to add supporting information (documents, emails, web pages, etc): this is the real beauty of Ultra Recall, it can function as a regular outlining application, but also has the flexibility to do much more, by storing essentially anything!
  • Logical Linking: if you can’t decide what a topic is relatd to, this technology will let you link it to them all! Very handy in a topical hierarchy like a journal
  • No limits on journal size: since Ultra Recall uses the SQLite embedded database engine, it provides high performance with consistent performance regardless of file size. You won’t be constrained to any artificial organization limitations with Ultra Recall!
  • Other applications can be used to manage a journal, but Ultra Recall excels at the task, while offering many additional capabilities. Ultra Recall quickly becomes indispensable, by managing your scheduled tasks; archiving your emails, documents, web pages and text together, organized topically, chronologically, etc; then facilitating the recall of everything added with powerful search capabilities.
