I was going to say...
This product is great... and it has a lot of promise. I intend to continue using it just because it does such a good job of getting me back to the routine of using my Dayplanner like I did when it was on paper. I never was able to fully implement the Franklin system electronically with the previous tools. This in and of itself is of GREAT value. However, there are, as I'm sure you know, many things that can be done to improve the software. I hope this list is of assistance to you...
But since I purchased PlanPlus 2.0, many of my needs have been met. Now, if DRE, PowerNotes, and all Mission, Role and Goal stuff would synch between the two, plus I got my wish list from below, then I'd really be happy.
Here's my TabletPlanner wishlist:
- There should be no fields that REQUIRE pen entry. All fields should be both pen AND mouse/keyboard friendly.
- The contact list contains no feature, as in Outlook, to easily type in a name and have it do a quick search.
- The info tabs should allow actual embedding of docuements instead of just printing them. Printing them leads to the need not only to update the document, but to also reprint it and replace the old one in the Tablet Planner. Embedded (OLE) docs or snippets would update themselves as source is updated, else hould at least be able to attach documents or link to documents. At the VERY LEAST, the software should allow one to create live links to documents and web sites.
- The notepade doesn't allow standard Windows navigation... i.e. Ctrl+Arrow should move cursor left or right a whole word at a time, but it doesn't.
- There should the be choice for tasks to complete them AND forward them to a future date.
- Needs MUCH more Microsoft Office integration. For instance, how would I easily convert this note to a Word document, or email it (especially to a non windows user who doesn't have Journal Viewer)?
- No recurring tasks? What were you thinking?
- Reorder tasks by dragging?
- Schedule appointment or task from contact item.
- See list of appointments or tasks by contact.
- get to contact record from task or appointment to make notes, look up or change info, etc.
- Synching of DRE or notes to Outlook
- Way to synch with Palm
- Outlining functionality
PlanPlus does everything I want, sort of. Not sure what I need TabletPlanner for anymore since it came along... maybe your new version will give me a reason.

Here's my list for V4 (it's a little too late to ask for V3 stuff, eh;) )
1. Recurring tasks
2. Categories for grouping project-specific items (tasks, appointments, contacts)
3. Auto-reorder of tasks by drag-drop (i like the drag-drop reorder of a single task)
4. Refined searching (Search by tab) Wasn't such an issue when I had small volume in my planner, but now that I've got a bunch of reference material in there, I get a lot more hits than I used to.
I'm sure I'll have more the more I used it...

I'd like to throw in my vote for categorizing tasks - so I can look at business related tasks during the day and then switch to personal stuff after work.
Oh, and email functionality . . .
Trying out 3.0, loving it so far . . .

I have stated this before but want to again because I would like to be able to utilize TP3.
1. Need to be able to seamlessly and fully import contact, task and calendar info from ACT!6 to TP3.
2. I use a desktop, notebook and tablet. As a minimum, I would want TP3 to run on the desktop and tablet. Would want to directly and seamlessly sync TP3 between the two computers. Can't do this now. Have to go tablet TP3 to Outlook (on the tablet) to Outlook (on the desktop) to TP3 on the desktop or vice versa. Syncing Outlook between two computers sucks at best. I would add that it is relatively easy to sync ACT! between multiple computers (both database and multiple users).
3. On the whole, I wish Covey would just develop this product without relying on Outlook for it to work. Forget Outlook, it is rinky dink contact manager at best not suitable IMHO (and experience) to the demands of a larger and more robust business data base. Covey should build sync capabilities and email capabilities into their Tablet Planner product and keep Outlook where it belongs...on the original installation CD. It would seem to me that Covey is severely limiting their potential Customer base by not providing integration with other PIM packages and other email utilities (such as Eudora which is very popular in the business world).

Here's hoping some one from AGILIX [unworthy]is still listening even through TP3 is out...which I use and REALLY like (mostly).
I want to create a few forms on my own. There seems to be an XML schema for doing this and a file for making them available when you create a new note but Franklin Covey support has no clue or documentation. I am hoping some one from A does and could post or send it? You might even CC the FC support team.
Help appreciated....
Now let's start the FP4 comments....
