(Archived) Can we get a note-field on Notebook Properties?


Recommended Posts

It would be very nice if Evernote could include a note-field in the Notebook Properties.

Today we can change name, Make default and link to Sharing options.

But a text-field for notes is what I wish for.

I would use it specify more information (to myself) on what that specific notebook was intended for.

If we get this, you could consider including a search option, that only searches notebook titles and -notes.

This way we could search for the correct Notebook, when the number for notebooks incrise.

Hi and welcome to the forums !

A "note field" in the "Properties" section of a notebook? Hm. I wonder if that is really useful. I'd say the title of your notebook(s) should be pretty much self-explanatory, so by just looking at the notebook, you know what kind of stuff is in there. If not, re-organization of your notebooks or changing the title will help.

Or use tags.....

Good point. To amplify just a little, one way to approach this might be to create a dedicated tag like "Abstract" or "Overview" or "Purpose", and for each notebook that you care about, add a note that describes the notebook, and tag it with your special tag.

Well... I use lots of tags, and I use lots of Notebooks.

I also have notebooks inside other notebooks.

All my private stuff is in a notebook with many "subnotebooks".

I work for different companies, and have a work notebook where i have a subnotebook for each company.

I do voluntary work for different organizations, and have subnotebooks for each.

I do not like to tell a story in the title, and still see the benefit of a “Notes”-field in Notebook Properties.

When something fits in two different notebooks, I have to re-think my structure.

Sometime after, I forget how things was changed, and leave stuff in the wrong notebooks.

This is why I thought of heaving the “Notes”-field.

If we get it, and have the search option to only search notebook names- and notes, I have another suggestion.

When we choose what Notebook the note should be saved to, you could have a smart field there, instead of a drop down menu.

The “Move note to another Notebook”, could have a text-field in the top.

When we start typing, we could get suggestions based on title first, and if the search found match in this new and neat Notes-field, it would suggest them as well.

Buut…. J

Do you mean stacks? In Evernote, notebooks cannot contain other notebooks.

I think it's a reasonable request, just that it doesn't exist now, and there are ways around its absence, though not as convenient.

This, to me, is usually one of the most compelling reasons to prefer tags over notebooks. Because a note can have more than one tag.

Understood. I can see how it would be useful.
