Version 5.0 integrates the functions of its paper-based forebears with Internet calendaring and scheduling. It has matured without turning stodgy. The interface, based on the familiar day planner metaphor, is transparent to anyone who can page through a calendar, to-do list, directory or notepad. Other components will schedule recurring events and manage projects. Organizer integrates its sections better than paper day planners and many other PIMs.
Contacts link to appointments or calls.
Notepad entries link to files or uniform resource locators and update each other automatically. The Calendar section follows the Internet's open iCalendar standard for setting up meetings with people across networks regardless of their PIM software, so long as it complies with iCal. Keeping contact Organizer 5.0 also supports the vCard standard for importing contact information from other vCard-compliant applications, as well as vCalendar, another Internet calendaring standard. Buttressing the new functions, Organizer 5.0 can view as many as 15 calendars at one time. Whether you're scheduling a meeting with a dozen people up the hall or across the country, you can see all their schedules.
