(Archived) Feature request: Support for templates

[AlexWilsonsBlog 1]

In an effort to move EverNote into my company, we will need templates that work across all platforms. We want to be able to create pre-designed formats for things like meeting minutes, reference material, etc.

Must work the same across all platforms!

Good Luck going from a 27" HD resolution Windows monitor down to a 2"x3" tiny Blackberry screen

They don't have to be complex templates. I am referring to the ability to have text laid out such as the following so we don't have to reinvent the wheel each meeting plus it makes sure everyone captures what is needed:

Meeting Minutes

Date:

Time:

Attending:

Agenda:

Action Items:

Discussions:

Not elegant, but in the meantime:

1. Create your template

2. Export it to desktop or wherever

3. Import it each time you need it

Only works if you are at a PC or Mac. I use the iPad mainly as do many of those I have been talking to.

This type of thing has been mentioned before and Dave has done his "thanks" thing - I don't think it's high on the development list and so if this type of functionality is key to your users, I'd suggest you find another app.

As we're talking iPad here I wonder if any of the third-party apps - like FastEver - can do it.

Recently discovered in another thread that if you drop a tag on a notebook all notes with that tag are duplicated in the notebook.

So if you create a template, tag it, drop the tag on a notebook when you need it, enter your information in the new note, update the tags, and there you have it. Quicker than import and it changes the create date.

Not the worst hack in the world.
