Afraid not. It's a much requested feature on this Forum, but there's no way to know when, or if, they will implement it. But, if folks keep asking it might, eventually happen.

In the meantime, you'd be better off looking at apps like Workflowly, which I believe intergrateds well with Evernote.

Feature Request: Add Outlining Capabilities to Evernote

Evernote is great, but it's dying for the ability to create Notes that contain Outlines which are easily collapsed and expanded during creation and in use.

One way to implement it would be a switchable editing mode, between standard formatting or outline mode.

In outline mode, pressing the Enter key creates a new outline item, and pressing the Tab key changes the current item into a sub-item.

Clicking on an item's action icon causes its sub-items to collapse out of, or expand into view. That's the way the Ecco Pro PIM did it, and something simple like that would be a good start for Evernote.

The name Evernote implies a product that takes notes -and collapsible/expandable outlines are a huge part of note taking.

Any status on this?

Hi. We don't have table support on Android, unfortunately. At least not that I've ever seen.

Deep breaths, Gaz. Very deep.

Sentinel, I don't think you have anything to apologize for. You have always proven both courteous and helpful.

Nichart.dk, it's great that you found this but please do *not* keeping posting the same thing on several threads. Once is enough.

Thanks.

I finally found a solution to this problem. I found a Sticky note widget, that shows a single note as a widget: http://www.androidpit.com/app/jp.ymgcsng.entw

Ah, here's the thing though. Evernote does not claim to be a To Do app. Their stated goal is to be a way to collect and store digital data.

I've personally found the best way to deal with appointments and tasks is to use an app dedicated to such a function. If you wish to keep everything connected (so to speak) in an Evernote framework, then your best bet at this point is to get one of the 3rd Party apps offered through their app center.

All to-do app have the possibility to introduce reminders...Evernote no (°!°)

Are you referring to the Share Via option on the phone or android device itself?

I ask because I've noticed with the latest up it creates and save notes, but doesn't give me the option to do anything with it. I can't add a title, text or tags. I have to physically open EN, pull up that note and fix it. That's not how it worked before.

Now I just copy the link and create a note from scratch.

The recent Android update has an improved Web Clipper. It looks great and I thought I can now stop using Pocket.

But most of the times, it doesn't work. The clipped note is an empty note with a "clipping..." message.

Just as an FYI, there are programs on the market that can password protect entire apps. A quick Google search should bring some up.

Sigh. I so wanted to count on EN and was eagerly looking forward to when I could squeeze the admittedly small fee out of my vet bill exhausted budget. (Side note, if you are reading this and have younger, healthy fur babies, do NOT skimp on pet insurance. My vet swears by Truepanion. Seriously do NOT skimp on this. Having them live long lives is a blessing, but also damned expensive!)

Sorry, back on topic now. My thanks to GM, Sentinel and BNF for sharing this info with the rest of us. I'm glad to know that at least my fellow users care enough to shed light on these things...

I'm not able to find it at the moment, but I'm pretty sure I saw something on the forum in the last couple days stating that the Table function on the Mac client had vastly improved in the latest Beta version. I *could* be wrong so please don't quote me on that, but it might be worth investigating.

Unfortunately no. Evernote does not share their roadmap.

+1 I've wittingly deleted several notes due to not having a prompt. It happens most often when I'm trying to modify a search using the delete button. If I enter an extra delete after the removing the last search term, a note will be deleted if highlighted.

By the way, is there a way to check the status of particular issues (like this one) to see if they are being considered by Evernote Development? Like a status of "In Progress", "Working As Designed", etc.

Thanks!

What an excellent compromise idea! Kudos for proposing it. I hope EN seriously takes it under consideration.

If you think about the kerfuffle raised when the link behaviour changed earlier this years - *again wuthout notice* and explained only *after the fact and in response to complaints*... - where all links, unless specifically identified using the *correct* (and *not* rerribly obvious to new & green users) Note Link function to create *internal* Note Links "evernote://..." - were changed to automatically become full web addresses "http://..." because they behaved better 'out there in the wild' - the sudden change to Public Note Links for *security purposes,* makes little sense. At least in my opinion.

Thank you for returning this feature. I understand security risks of sharing information in a public fashion and hope that this feature will not be going away. If security is a concern, perhaps just one additional "Are you sure" message would suffice to give the user one last out before committing the share. One can also be reminded that the share can be removed just as easily.

This is a feature that is invaluable.

No, I don't think it's too onerous to ask. In fact, I think that if EN doesn't start being a lot more communicative with users, and vastly improve their Support department (for paying users, I mean), it's unlikely to survive another 5 years, nevermind 100!

(4) It isn't the removal of the feature that bothers me so much, even though I hate to see it go, but the method of doing so. This unannounced and sudden abandonment of features, even ones that appear to be core ones existing for many years, and rolling back of changes if it causes enough wailing and gnashing of teeth among users (called A/B testing by some, though the term is a little too broad in my opinion) is a loathsome pattern of behavior at Evernote (and some other services) that I think wreaks havoc with users. Personally, I am extremely unlikely to rely on a service in my professional life if it is run this way. It sounds like a harsh condemnation, I guess, but it ought to be taken as a recommendation to behave responsibly: announce and explain upcoming changes to existing features, gather feedback, evaluate it, implement changes (if there isn't a hue and cry), and evaluate the results. Is this so onerous an expectation?

GM and Lisec, well said! It's very disheartening to find myself agreeing with such statements...

Mr. Libin, are you listening? Do you even care?

I very much appreciate the updates from you and Charboyd, and I'm very glad this feature has been re-instated...for now at least. You seemed to hint this is a temporary measure that will again be implemented in the next release...

Which leads me to a couple questions (deliniated with "Q)" before them) and some final (...for now..

Mraacep, I and many others here completely agree with you.  As a paying customer, you might consider contacting Support to complain *and* send a Feedback message to them, detailing exactly how this feature regression - that occured with ZERO notification or warning of any kind - has affected you, your standing as a trusted teacher, your students, their education and their parents faith in you and your school.

It may have no effect, but perhaps if enough folks - specifically *paying* users like yourself - complain loudly enough, *directly* to Evernote - then mabye, just maybe, they will reverse the decision, or release an alternative.

If nothing else, if as many paying customers as possible post here and contact EN directly with such complaints - assuming the recent app regressions like this one & the cancelled Tech Support for free users, are not signalling something drastic like EN going under or being bought out - perhaps such actions will push Evernote to realize such actions as they have taken lately with ZERO warning to their customers, is a very bad move.  One that could cost them customers, lose revenue and badly damage their reputation...  Which, if it doesn't bring EN crashing down, might at least make them seriously rethink the they handle any future service changes.

I'm a teacher and this just caused a big problem in one of my courses. One of my assignments was to do research on a topic and hand in the public link. One section's due date was a week ago. They completed it fine. The other section's due date was today, and all the students started complaining that they couldn't find any way to generate a public link. I was getting really annoyed at them and giving them failing marks.

When even the smartest students had the same problem, I checked it out for myself and realised that the button to create a public link was gone. My old shared notebooks still worked. And you can still share notes individually (which is what my enterprising students resorted to).

Now I know why. I would just like Evernote to know that these decisions really do have an impact on people's lives. There should be an announcement, or at least a note in the interface letting users know what has happened.

Worse, this kind of behaviour now makes me wonder if I made a mistake teaching Evernote to my students. A company you entrust so much of your life and work to has to be run like a very tight ship.

Scott, this is precisely why I *not* think even giving limited moderating powers to every forum member with the minimum number of required posts is a good idea! It *should* be left in the hands of level-headed folks like you, Gaz and the others. I would not be so kind...the OP's second post does strike me as a breach of forum's rules of conduct!

I can certainly agree with that! Another related reason is that for anyone with shaky motor control, hitting buttons by accident is an easy and unavoidable occurence. I'm by no means a techy, but am nor am I a complete novice when it comes to comptuers and in the last few years can personally attest to motor control issues resulting in accidentally hitting keys.

I *love* programs that have the option to ask if I'm sure I want to proceed with certain actions, especially deleting.

That's missing the point - it's easy enough to retrieve a note from trash, but what happens when you don't realize it was deleted in the first place? It's beyond me why they don't provide an option to confirm delete.

This post is *not* aimed at anyone in particular, so please do not take it personally. It's just me blowing off some steam in a response to a number of posts I've seen around the forum boards lately.

It's not that Evernote *can't* do recurring reminders, it's just that for whatever reason, they haven't. At least not yet, anyway. As has been repeatedly stated, Evernote is a digital data storage program. Despite all the additions to what they started with, EN's core mission remains the same as the day they opened for business.

I am one of those users who would love for EN to be my "every digital need, desire and whim" kind of software, but I don't think they or any other program is every going to fulfill such a dream. EN is growing at an astonishing rate, they still have no where near the power or resources of industry giants like Facebook, Microsoft or Google, yet they still put a much higher priority into protecting our data and treating us all - paying *and free* users - more like human beings than the faceless cash cows so many other large businesses and corporations seem to consider their customers to be.

If recurring reminders are a really big deal for you ("you" in a generic sense) are a number of Evernote compatible apps, both free and paid, available at the EN App Centre. I strongly encourage you to take a look:

http://appcenter.evernote.com/apps/

If none seem agreeable to you, there are a number of completely free alternatives to Evernote on the market. I can't say I've come across any as well established, or as accomodating to their free users, but they do exist.

In fact new ones seem to pop-up every few weeks. Of course a fair number also seem to go under or get swallowed up by the big internet shar..er, players, almost as fast...

I'm sorry, but I just gotta say it... I truly don't understand why people get so worked up about what they see as " crucial missing features" in products they use, yet don't pay a single penny for! (Hence the disclaimer at the start of this post.)

Where does this concept of "I want it, ergo I *should* have it!" even come from? Do you work for free? Would you give away your time, effort and resources just because someone else insists they deserve it? Even if whatever they wanted is "easy" and cost you little, if anything, I bet you'd be a bit put out that someone had the audacity to assume such a thing about you.

Look, I'm currently a free user too, but will not remain so the moment I can squeeze a few bucks out of my budget. In the past, I've paid a lot more for a lot less, so in the meantime, I'm just grateful that I have access to what fast has become a very important tool in in my life.

On the upside, EN reminders themselves haven't been available on all clients for all that long, so who knows, recurring ones could be just around the corner! Or perhaps a nice new sock print is nearing it's debut...

Oh good, I haven't lost all my marbles yet!

So it is out for purchase now?

iggy,

For another approach to having a meticulous hierarchical system (I liked your phrase there) for your Evernote information, you might want to check out our TuskTools Treeliner solution.

Phils, TuskTools Treeliner is a GREAT tool. I strongly encourage everyone to view the excellent YouTube video if you have any interest in outliners or hierarchy. For those of you who don't think hierarchical systems add any value, I challenge you to watch this video. It might just open your eyes to a great new way of organizing.

I should mention that it integrates tightly with Evernote.

Phils, I'd love to see a Mac version. Any chance of one being available any time soon?

Finally, ATTN Evernote Designers. You should view this video to see an excellent, powerful, yet simple way to construct complex boolean searches.

But you haven't yet released Treeliner for sale have you, Phils? I thought you told SahilC that the other day. Or is my memory playing tricks on me...again?!

Sounds great, Iggy! I'd love to hear how it goes for you.

Personally, I wouldn't mind this as a user controlled option on a per note basis only. I prefer the auto standard be letting me title notes as I see fit. That way I have a much better chance of later knowing what it's about without having to open it when scanning my list of notes. ☺

Or open a 2nd free account and keep your personal and business notes completely separate.
