IdeaMatrix offers an unlimited drawer and folder structure.

 

Folders can be grabbed, dragged, and dropped into position, helping a person optimize their IdeaMatrix.

 

It is easy and natural to reorganize and keep projects well-organized.

2. Unlimited Notes

IdeaMatrix was designed to hold thousands of notes efficiently.

 

IdeaMatrix uses the REXwireless Matrix database, which was designed by REXwireless specifically for the BlackBerry.

 

This detailed view offers a quick look at any note. Spacebar allows quick page-down review, while hot*keys allow a person to quickly advance to the next note in a folder with having to go in / scroll / and out again.

3. Award-Winning Indy*Search Feature

Any application that specializes in random tidbits of information must be able to quickly find them, even years later.

 

Indy*Search is an intuitive, free-form search system that is more than up to the task.

 

As a person types a search phrase, non-matching notes are eliminated. Pressing enter at anytime returns the remaining notes.

4. Reminder Alert with Snooze

Any note can have basic reminder alert set.

 

When the alert is triggered, snoozing the alarm can be accomplished with a simple scroll and click - no painful date setting required or limited snooze choices here!

 

This is the normal "dual calendar" date set method for setting alerts.

5. Screen Aware Hot*Key Shortcuts

Every screen offers Hot*Keys in the bottom footer that help the BlackBerry professional become a power user quickly.

 

Most functions do not require accessing the menu system, speeding up the user experience.

 

Suretype keyboard users have most Hot*Keys mapped to the ALT+Letter keys. Pressing the "H" Hot*Key shows the user the complete list of Hot*Keys in IdeaMatrix.

6. Privacy Option on Notes

In addition to offering a password-on-entry feature, IdeaMatrix also has the ability to cloak a note from view until a privacy password is entered.

 

Private notes are not encrypted and can still be found with Indy*Search. Private notes offer cloaking from over-the-shoulder inquiring eyes.

7. Inject Notes from BlackBerry Applications

IdeaMatrix offers the ability to create a note from seven injection points in other BlackBerry applications.

 

No re-typing is required. Want to keep your hotel reservation confirmation letter for quick reference? Inject it from your e-mail inbox! Need to create a note about Bob Smith? Start by injecting his information from the address book.

 

Injector menu options are offered in standard BlackBerry applications like E-Mail, Calendar, Address Book, Web Browser, Memopad, Task Applet, and Phone Log.

11. How Do IdeaMatrix and ToDoMatrix Complement Each Other?

Because of the user interface similarities, we are often asked why ToDoMatrix and IdeaMatrix are different products. The key distinction is logical / best use in nature.

People use the applications to hold different logical stacks of data. IdeaMatrix is used for important reference information that a person wants to keep into the future. ToDoMatrix is full of short-term items that are cycled out relatively quickly, if one is getting things done. Best practice is to keep one's ToDoMatrix lean and uncluttered if he or she hopes to remain laser-focused and productive.

For example, a person might create a folder in IdeaMatrix that is an outline of a project. Within the folder, he might keep a log of conversations he had, as well as e-mails that were received and sent. When he needs to call someone, he adds a task in ToDoMatrix to remind himself to make the call on Tuesday, but after Tuesday has come and gone, that task can easily be deleted. There is no reason to keep a lasting record of the hundreds of small urgencies that surround a project, but there is great reason to remember an e-mail that changed contract terms or a pricing quote.

If a person decides to put all the information in one application, it creates issues with finding notes quickly, reviewing and resetting the slate of tasks easily, and staying focused. It is much easier to stay productive by splitting the data along logical lines.
