<\/p>\nAre you new to Pagico?\u00a0Would you like to\u00a0learn the best ways to use it and maximize your productivity? Then this guide is for you! As part 1 of this Getting Started guide series, this article will focus on the basic\u00a0stuff.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After installing Pagico on your computer, the first thing to do is to create a database.\u00a0If you’re like most people, you’ll probably just need one database and manage everything in it. Just name it “Main”, or “Work”, and save it somewhere you know. Your “Documents” folder is a good start.<\/p>\n
Once the database is created, Pagico will automatically open it. In the\u00a0future, whenever you launch Pagico, it will try to automatically open this database for you.<\/p>\n
Now you’re ready to get stuff done!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Pagico, you can store & manage literally everything. Notes, tasks, checklists, and of course, files. To create a new task, simply click on the “+” button at the lower left corner and choose “New Task”. Let’s create a dummy task and set a due date\/time. You can use the date picker icon to select a date, but definitely try typing in the field instead. The due date field can intelligently parse your input on-the-fly. Try entering dates like this: “Tomorrow 3pm”. Once you entered a time, you’ll have a number of reminder options.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Getting reminded<\/strong><\/p>\n Simply enable the corresponding buttons to get reminded at the specific times. For example, “0m” is alarm at the\u00a0set time, while “15m” is an alarm at 15 minutes prior, and “2d” is an alarm 2 days prior. You can easily\u00a0select all the alarms you need with just a few clicks. Handy, isn’t it?<\/p>\n Saving to Inbox (by default)<\/strong><\/p>\n The default destination of your new task is your Inbox, the ideal place for errands, small\u00a0& random stuff\u00a0that don’t belong to any projects or contacts. Or,\u00a0if you have something important on your mind but don’t have a plan yet, store them in your Inbox, too. You’ll be able to move them to projects or contacts later, if necessary.<\/p>\n Attaching emails & files<\/strong><\/p>\n Want to include an email message or a file attachment in\u00a0this new task? Simply drag and drop it into Pagico now (you can also link to files later on as well). Then hit Confirm button to save the task.<\/p>\n Now check out the flowchart. It’s like a Gantt chart but with none of the learning curve. You can get an overview of your entire schedule here,\u00a0a perfect starting point of your day. This is a very powerful feature — with this flowchart, you will never miss a thing.<\/strong>\u00a0No matter how things are scattered in different\u00a0projects\u00a0or clients. Everything will be intuitively presented to you, and you can reschedule things easily by dragging and dropping.<\/p>\nReviewing your schedule<\/h1>\n
