What this means is that you can structure Smart Folders as seen on the left, and then use sub-Smart Folders to further filter down the entries. associated with the parent was well as those defined for the sub-Folder. Smart Folders can be nested so that a sub-Smart Folder must have all the tags etc. What’s more, you can take any entry from the main Journal entry, drop it on a smart folder and (with the exception of generalized text) it will automatically inherit those tags, categories, or comments required to become a member of the Smart Folder. Smart Folders insist that an entry have particular text, tags, comments or categories. Now, in order to focus on a specific case, you create Smart Folders in that left pane. You can literally dump everything into Journler through the day as you work. Unlike Casemap, using Journaler does not require a separate file for each case. In Journler, the top level on the left is labeled “Journal.” This is where everything goes…. Casemap has a ‘box for everything’ and everything in its box approach. Journler, by contrast, doesn’t come with a predefined left pane or, for that matter, structured data entry into spreadsheets. So, for instance, you can filter your Fact Spreadsheet to display just those entries pertaining to the person “Joe Smith” and the document “Smoking Gun.” Along the top bar, the most important aspect of Casemap is the ability to filter any of these spreadsheets by any of the other items, or even by a single search word. On the left, you can select different spreadsheets for Facts, Issues, Documents, People, Places, etc. In the center pane of Casemap, you get the ‘meat’ of your data in spreadsheet format.

The remainder of this post (and a few more to follow) will address how to replace Casemap with Journler, the best thing you can do is download it and play with it.Ĭasemap provides a dumping ground for case information, but a very structured and rigid dumping ground. Journler blends and balances power, customization, flexibility and still retains a simplicity that makes it instantly accessible. Although originally designed as a journaling application, the scope of data which this little application can handle goes way beyond any mere journal keeping functions.
The name ‘Journler’ doesn’t do justice for what can be done with this software.
