Overview of LifeTime

Personal Information Managers

LifeTime is a member of the family of software products called Personal Information Managers("PIM" for short).  A PIM lets you use your computer to aid you in keeping track of your schedule of daily appointments, and your non-scheduled list of "things to do".  Beyond that, PIMs vary in their inclusion of additional features - the better PIMs, like LifeTime, will always allow you to: attach Alarms, Priorities, or Due Dates to items where appropriate; keep extensive notes attached to your schedule or To-Do items; maintain a Phone Book with AutoDial capabilities; Print your Schedule and To-Do lists, Notes, and Phone Book information; and Find any given text string wherever it appears within the stored information.

The LifeTime Advantage

Although there are many PIMs on the market, including a large number of Windows PIMs, users are often frustrated by the difficulty or awkwardness in using them.  They may have all the features that a user needs, but not much thought went into making those features easily accessible.  Some people give up on PIMs as a result of this frustration.

Ease of Use

LifeTime was designed from the ground up with ease-of-use as much in mind as quality of features.  For instance, since the single most important function required of a PIM is to store the individual items relating to appointments or things to do, why should it be anything but utter simplicity to enter them?  Yet PIM after PIM will make you pull up a separate form to type in your item, then make you jump through some more hoops to set a start time and end time for it.  In LifeTime, the main screen is always ready to start receiving the next item - you just start typing.  When you hit Enter, the item becomes an object that you move with your mouse along a timeline to set the start time; then you shape the height of the object with your mouse to set its duration.  This quick and intuitive method produces an added bonus - your screen always shows your appointments as time blocks, and the blank space shows you exactly where your free time is.

Visual Cues

Another LifeTime innovation is its use of visual cues (color and texture) to convey information.  Why should you have to search for a little "A" to the left of  items to find the ones that have an alarm - or a little "N" for an attached Note?  If your item in LifeTime has an alarm, it's unmistakeable - its text is red (by default).  Similarly, an item with an attached note is recognized immediately by its italicised font.

Popup Technology

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to quickly see the schedule and To-Do items for any other day while still keeping today's items in place?  Well, LifeTime has an exclusive "Popup Schedule" that does just that when you click on any calendar day with your right mouse button.  A similar "Popup" motif allows you to instantly access any of the properties of an item.  Little things, maybe, but it's the little things like these that clearly set LifeTime apart.

Animated Tutorial

In the interests of getting you off to a quick start in your use of LifeTime, we have included an animated Tutorial which demonstrates some of the features we talked about above.  If you've already seen it, we hope you enjoyed it.  If not,  you can access it from the Help menu.


Letter From the Author

Dear LifeTime User,

    The wonderful reception that LifeTime has received since its initial release in July of 1994, has proved to me I was right in thinking that there was a market in the crowded Windows PIM world for a product that has almost no 'learning curve', but provides all the important information management functions most people need.

    When I surveyed the current PIM "scene", not only to see what is available, but what computer user's reactions are to what is available, I noticed some interesting things.  First, there is a class of what I call "Mega-PIMs", which do everything that's reasonable to expect of a PIM - then they add on massive additional features that do such things as Project planning, Outlining, or intensive Contact management.  These features may be needed by some people, but they may be better served by getting a separate package for the specialized feature instead of paying a mega-price for the Mega-PIM.

    Then there are the products that do stick pretty much to the classic PIM features, which is all the vast majority of potential PIM users need.  I consider LifeTime to be in this category - but, with a difference.  Many users have reported frustration as they try one PIM after another, only to find them all awkward to use.  It's true - none of the PIMs out there til now have seemed to operate with the intuitive ease and friendliness that the majority of PIM seekers apparently crave.  From this I recignized there is a vast, untapped market that LifeTime can fill - the market for a PIM that is not only user-friendly, but is actually fun to use!  LifeTime elevates mouse usage to a new height in the PIM world.  You can drag-and-drop, drag-and-modify, drag-and-print, drag-and-dial, drag-and-view, and mouse-click your way to the Time-management efficiency you always suspected a computer could provide.

    This major upgrade to LifeTime continues the same philosophy that guided the original release.  Rather than weighing it down with new features, this release makes the existing features even easier to use, and guided by suggestions from you - the users, some very significant improvements have been added:

•	 Because YOU wanted a WAV sound file option for the Alarm, it's in there!

•	Because YOU wanted an improvement in the 'one page per day' printing functions, the Print has been completely rewritten from scratch, and now includes customizable headings, multiple formats, and Print Preview!

•	Because YOU wanted a 'first Tuesday and third Thursday' type recur option, you now have it!

•	Because YOU wanted an Ascii import for Phone data from other products, you now have one!

 I invite you to use and explore this Evaluation copy of Lifetime as my guest for the next few weeks, to see what a difference it can make in helping you organize your life, work, and related information.  This try-out period entails no cost or obligation to you.  It is my hope that you will be impressed enough to want to obtain a registration license for your copy, which will come with a professional manual and other goodies which are themselves worth the $29.95 registration fee.  If you decide not to register, I request that you discontinue using the product and remove all copies from your computer - this is not free software, and the fact that there is a free evaluation period does not mean the use of this product is legal beyond the three-week period without registering it.  As the free Evaluation period comes to an end, you will be reminded gently but insistently that the time to register is at hand, though the product will continue to operate.  I regret having to include such "reminders", and it was bothersome to build them into the product, but the way I look at it is: if I didn't include the reminders, I would be placing the temptation in front of good, honest people to start putting off their registration until later, with "later" never seeming to arrive.

Acknowledgements

     LifeTime's data access is accomplished through VB/ISAM™  from Software Source.   If you appreciate the fast data access provided by LifeTime, you can thank their fine product.

     Sincerely,

Installing LifeTime

The LifeTime install is simple, and does not update any of your Windows system files.

How to Install

1 	Put the diskette with the LifeTime program files into your diskette drive.

2 	In Program Manager, pick "Run" from the File menu, then type A:\SETUP.EXE as the program to run.

3 	The Setup program will ask you where to place the program files. It will suggest a directory called C:\LIFETIME, but you may change that if you wish.

4 	The Setup program will then copy all the files into your specified directory and create a LifeTime icon within its own program group.

Network Use


Network Use

Each user of LifeTime on a shared network must have the program files installed on their own hard drive. By default, LifeTime stores your items, notes, and phonebook information in datasets located on the same drive and directory where you have the program itself.  If space is limited on this drive, you may choose to locate this data on another drive, in particular a drive that you can access through a network that you are connected to.  Another reason for doing this is if you are part of a team or workgroup, all of whose members are using LifeTime, or may be in the future.

You would want to be on a shared database in this situation, because then the database as a whole could be administered by the workgroup's leader or someone else given that responsibility.  The administrative activities would include group scheduling, that is, discovering what are the time blocks when no one on the team has an item scheduled, and optionally creating a new item that would appear on everyone's list.  The tool for achieving this is the LifeTime Network Administrator's module, which will be made available soon.  All interested registered LifeTime users will be sent an offer when this module becomes available.

Installing on a Network

To use LifeTime on a network, each user must perform the normal install to their own hard drives.  Then each must point to the common network path where the database is to reside.

How To

Install LifeTime

Set a Network Path

Set your Network ID

Set your Active Path


Setting a Network Path

A network path lets you keep your data off your own hard drive, and it can be stored in a common location with that of other LifeTime users in your work area.  This allows for group scheduling and easier database administration, with LifeTime's optional Network Administrator's module.

Instructions

•	Select the "Network Path" option under the "Network Use" pick of the "File" menu.

•	Type in the full drive and path information, with this format:

N:\TEAMA\LIFEDATA

•	Hit Enter

Setting Your Network ID

Setting Your Active Path


Setting Your Network ID

Your network ID is a unique "key" by which your personal information will be labeled on a shared network drive, so it must be different than that of any other user using the same path.  A good choice for a network ID would be your LAN security ID, but any unique character combination up to 8 characters will work.

Note: Although you may change your network ID after you establish it, doing so will leave you unable to revert back to the earlier ID, so data entered under it will be lost to you.

Instructions

•	Select the "Network ID" option under the "Network Use" pick of the "File" menu.

•	Type in your unique network ID.

•	Hit Enter.

Setting Your Active Path

Once you have established an optional network path, you may make it your "official" path that comes up automatically when you start up LifeTime.  You may then at any time switch this "official" path back to the original database on your own drive that LifeTime established for you when you first ran it.

Instructions

•	Pick the "Path" option from the "Settings" choice of the "Options" menu.  The Path Window appears.

•	Select the radio buttons that specify the path setting you want.  Note you may point at a Phone Book on your "original" path while pointing to Schedule/ToDo data on the network drive, or vice versa.

•	Click the "Ok" button, or hit Enter.

Create a Copy

We would like to see as many people as possible try a Free Evaluation Copy of LifeTime.  To that end, we make it easy for you to make a complete copy on a diskette to give to someone who has become interested.  Included on the copy will be all files that you received to let you install LifeTime on your own machine.  Since we do not want any copies distributed without each of these files, the copy will not be performed if any are detected as missing.  Of course, none of the items, notes, phone information, or other data that you have entered into your copy of LifeTime will be copied in this process.

All that is required to create a copy is a formatted, blank diskette of at least 1.4 Meg capacity (that would be a double-sided, high density 3.5" diskette).  All that space is not needed for the copy, but the next size capacity down, 750 K, is too small.

Instructions

•	Choose the "Create a Copy" pick from the "File" menu.

•	Type in the drive letter where you want the copy to go, and hit Enter. Any path information you put in will be ignored - the copy will be written to the root directory.

•	Insert the diskette into the specified drive.

•	The copying of the files will then take place, taking several minutes.

•	Let the person receiving the copy know they should execute the SETUP.EXE file on the diskette to install LifeTime on their own machine.

The start time increments are also calibrated in smaller lengths at higher magnifications.  Note, however, that at higher magnifications, the viewport displays a smaller portion of the day.

•	Vary the Zoom by hitting Ctrl + I or Ctrl + O to Zoom In or Out.

Relating Magnification to Duration

The magnification you have set on the Schedule viewport will determine the amount of time in each increment of duration change.  Here are the increments and defaults that correspond to each magnification:

Magnification 4

The amount of each duration increment change is 1 minute.  The Snap-To setting has no effect in magnification 4.  The minimum duration for any item is 5 minutes.

Magnification 2

The amount of each duration increment change is 30 minutes with "Snap-To" on, and  5 minutes with "Snap-To" off.  In this magnification the duration cannot be set to less than 15 minutes.  If, in a higher magnification, an item's duration is set to less that 15 minutes, the item will be represented in magnification 2 by a box without a border.

Magnification 1

The amount of each duration increment change is 30 minutes with "Snap-To" on, and 5 minutes with "Snap-To" off. In this magnification the duration cannot be set to less than 30 minutes.  If, in a higher magnification, an item's duration is set to less that 30 minutes, the item will be represented in magnification 1 by a box without a border.

Select Dial
Select-Dial

Select-Dial is a unique feature that you can use from the Phone Entry Window or the Phone List Window.  It allows you to "select off" a part of the phone number that you do not want to dial when you use autodial.

Why you might need Select-Dial

You will want to store any long-distance number with (1-) and its area code.  But when you travel to that location,  and the number converts to a local call, you will not want to dial the long-distance information.  With the Select-Dial option turned on, you can autodial only the local part of the number.

Mouse Method

•	Be sure Select-Dial is turned on in the AutoDial Setup Window.

•	When you are ready to drag the phone number for the autodial, place the cursor at the end of the long-distance information, and press the left mouse button.

•	Drag the cursor straight to the left, moving outside the left edge of the phone number's box, still holding down the left mouse button.  All the long-distance information will be "selected", and you will be in the act of dragging the rest of the phone number.

•	Continue dragging the phone number down to the Phone icon.  The number displaying just above the Phone icon shows the portion of your phone number that will actually be dialed.

•	Drop the phone number on the Phone icon.

Keyboard Method

•	Be sure Select-Dial is turned on in the AutoDial Setup Window

•	Tab to the phone number you want to autodial.

•	Hit Shift + Right-arrow until you have selected the portion of the number you don't want to dial. The number displaying just above the Phone icon shows the portion of your phone number that will actually be dialed.

•	Hit Alt + I to dial.

Long-Distance Access

You may need to access a long-distance service, or use a credit card or calling card number when you dial.  To integrate this into your Autodialing, choose "Access" from the Phone List or Phone Entry menu, to bring up the Long-distance Access window.

Using Long-Distance Access

•	Type in any number you might need to access your long-distance carrier in the "Carrier Access Number" box.

•	Place your credit card or Calling card number in the "Card number" field.

•	A third "Freeform" field lets you put in any additional numbers you may need to dial.

•	To integrate these access numbers with your normal Autodialing, click on the "Dial" button next to the number at the time you need them dialed.  Typically, you would dial the "Carrier Access number", then drag-and-drop the phone number of the person you want to call, then dial the "Card number".

Ascii Import
The Ascii Import

If you have Phonebook data in another product, and you want to include that data in LifeTime's phonebook, the Ascii Import allows you to do that, if the product that contains your phone data can export it as a comma-delimited Ascii file.

Import File Format

The file that you import into LifeTime must have an initial record that has the field names corresponding to the data fields on the records that follow. Each field name on the initial record must be enclosed in double quotes, and there must be a comma between each to separate them. Each of the corresponding pieces of data on the records that follow the initial record must also be in double quotes, and be separated by commas.

Here is an example of how the first few records on such a file might look; in an actual file, the records would continue on off the page to the right. There can be no wrapping to the next line for any record, no matter how long it is:

"Last Name","First Name","Mid. Init.","Company",[etc.]...
"Alby","William","G","Tourney Discount Sports",[etc.]...
"Anderson","Julia","","IDI Inc.",[etc.]...

Notice how, in the third record, the person has no middle initial, but there is still a double-quote with no space in between, sitting in the position where the middle initial would be.  This is because every field named on the initial record must have a corresponding data field on each of the records that follow, even if it is just represented by the double-quote with no space in between. Notice also that the commas separating the fields in all records sit directly after one double-quote and directly before the other, with no spaces separating them.

Importing the Data

•	Choose "Ascii File Import" from LifeTime's File menu.

•	On the Ascii Import window, click on the File menu and choose "Import File", and specify the import filename in the dialog box that comes up.

•	The field names on the first record of the import file will appear in the list box on the left.  Fields describing LifeTime's phone data fields will be in the list box on the right.

•	Click on the first entry in the left-hand list box. Then click on any field in the LifeTime list box on the right, that you want to match up the import field with. Notice you can choose 'Do not Match Field' in the LifeTime box, if the import field does not seem to correspond with any LifeTime phone data field.

•	Repeat this process for EACH and EVERY field in the Import fields box. Each must be matched up with something in the LifeTime box.  As you pick each match, it is confirmed and appears in the list box at the bottom of the window.

•	You can match more than one Import field with the same LifeTime field.  This will probably happen for the fields you match into LifeTime's 'Home Address' and 'Business Address' fields, which might be broken into 'Street', 'City', 'State', 'Zip', etc. in the Import file.  Just remember that the fields will be put together in LifeTime in the same order they appear on the incoming data record.

•	Before doing the actual import, check through the list box on the bottom to make sure every field is matched up right.  If not, cancel out of the window and start again from scratch.

•	Click on the 'Process Import File' button, and the phone records will be added to LifeTime's phone database.

Data Touch-Up

If you matched multiple fields into the LifeTime Home and Business Address fields, each of those fields will come out separated by several spaces in the address box displayed within LifeTime's Phone Entry window.  After the automatic word-wrap within the Address box display, you may want to change where the line breaks occur in the address. This can be accomplished with a simple touch-up that must be done from within LifeTime's Phone Entry window.

•	Get the first record you want to touch-up into the Phone Entry window.

•	Click with your mouse directly in front of any word that you want to begin on the next line down, so the cursor is sitting in front of that word, with no space separating them.

•	Hit the Enter key on the keyboard.  This inserts an invisible New Line character that causes everything following it in the address to move down to the next line.


Doing Finds

Using the Find Window, you can search for any text string in the information you have placed into LifeTime.  You may search through all the information, or limit the search to certain categories.  After a search is done, you may narrow the results further by searching for a second text string only within the items that matched on the prior search.  This process may be repeated as many times as you like.

Mouse/Keyboard  Method

•	Pick "Find" from the "Options" Menu.  The Find Window appears.

•	Type in the text you want to find.  Do not surround it with quotes, or they will be searched for, too.  And, the search does not distinguish between capital letters and small letters.

•	Choose the Categories where you want to look for the text string.

•	Choose the "Find" button.  The list box will show what items contained the text string, if any.

•	To do a sub-search on these items, type in the new text string, and check the "Prior Search" category.

•	To see one of the items that satisfied the search, double-click on it.

          or

•	Highlight the list item you want, and choose the "Select" button.
