Linking with Contacts/Tasks/Appointments
The links tab allows you to link to contacts, appointments, tasks or les. It works in a similar manner to the search view - select the item types you want to link to, and enter text in the search box. When you have found the item/s you want to link to, tap on them in the list, and they will be added to the list of current links in the top part of the window
Linking with Files
If you tap on the le icon in the links tab, you will be taken to a standard dialog where you can browse for the le you want to link to.
Deleting Links
To delete links, either press the X at the bottom of the screen and uncheck the links you want to delete, or tap and hold on the link and choose Remove Link. If you want to delete the actual item, rather than just the link to it, tap and hold and choose Context. This will then display the normal context menu for that item type.
Smart Macros
Smart Macros are an innovative feature of Pocket Informant and are available in the Appointment, Task, Note, and Journal editors. Smart Macros consist of two new menus within Pocket Informant: Contact Info menu and the My Text menu. The Contact Info menu lets you choose a contact and enter its information quickly with a couple of taps of the menu. The My Text menu holds your custom phrases or macros. Just tap on the Edit My Text menu to add your phrases. At this time phrases cannot be named, but this is an area we hope to improve upon in the future. An example phrase would be %ts% - %sd% to show a time stamp with a short date. Or you can have macros access contact info such as %mobile% or %rst%. When you access a MyText phrase which contains a contact macro it will automatically ask you to choose a contact.

Timer Macros
Pocket Informant also supports Timer Macros: %tm1-4% to toggle the timer and to display the duration %dtm1-4%. So for example you would call %tm1% to start timer 1 and then %tm1% to end timer 1 again. Then later call %dtm1% to display the duration.
Editing MyText
When editing MyText you are given a screen with all the Macros shown on screen for you to insert. You press the action button on them or double tap for them to be inserted into the cursor position.
