Your library
Lists and views
The SmartTexts and SmartMail tabs of the Options list your library. Three views, a search, a category filter, and a single menu to act on an item.
Cards, list or table Basic
The buttons at the top right of the list choose the view:
| View | For |
|---|---|
| Cards | seeing the start of each text, in a grid |
| List | one line per item, with two lines of excerpt |
| Table | comparing title, excerpt, category and trigger at a glance, in sortable columns |
Dynamic fields appear in the excerpts in colour, as in the previews.
Detailed or compact Advanced
Next to the views, Detailed and Compact set the density. In compact mode, excerpts shrink to one line (or disappear in the list): more items fit on screen.
Sorting the table Advanced
In the Table view, click the Title or Category header: a first click sorts from A to Z, a second from Z to A, a third goes back to the usual order (favourites first, then the most used). The sort holds during a search or a filter; it disappears when you change view or tab.
Filtering by category Basic
The left-hand column lists your categories, with the number of items in each. Clicking a category shows only that one; All goes back to everything.
Searching Basic
The search field filters the list as you type, with the same search as the Launcher: no accents or capitals, each word in any order, * to search within a category.
Editing and acting on an item Basic
Clicking an item opens it in the editor. All the other actions are in the ⋮ menu — top right of a card, at the end of the line in the list and the table — or via a right-click anywhere on the item:
- Edit
- Duplicate — see The editor
- Convert to SmartMail (or Convert to SmartText), if SmartMails are turned on — see Converting
- Add to favourites / Remove from favourites
- History — the earlier versions, see The editor
- Delete
Recognising a favourite Basic
A favourite is recognisable by three signs: its icon becomes a golden ★, a golden edge borders its line or card, and it's at the top of the list. It also appears in the Overbar.
The ⓘ and ⚠ markers Expert
| Marker | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Red ⓘ next to the keyword | Another item has the same keyword. Allowed: the Expander will make you choose. See Expander. |
| Amber ⚠ next to the keyword | This keyword will never fire: a shorter keyword it starts with fires first. See Expander. |
Deleting, and changing your mind Basic
Delete doesn't ask for confirmation: the item goes to the bin, and a message gives you 6 seconds to click Undo. After that, it can still be recovered from the bin for 30 days.
