Dialog Components
Available Views Tabs
Shows all currently defined Views grouped in tabs — General, Contacts, and Tasks.
Click the appropriate tab and select a View to edit, copy or delete it. Or create a new folder to add the existing or new Views to it.
Please note that the Views and View Folders you create and existing Views are visible in all Workspaces you have in Omea ReaderOmea Pro.
General Tab
Contains a list of basic types of Views. These are recent Views, Clippings, Flagged, Annotated and Categorized Views and Deleted Resources.
Contacts Tab
Contains a list of available Views for Contacts. By default, it contains All and Active Views for Contacts but you may create a View for your ICQ or Miranda Contacts or other Views. To do so, create a new View and specify Contact is in ICQ Contacts as a condition (Click Add, select Contact is in Address Book, click the address book hyperlink and select ICQ Contacts).
Tasks Tab
Contains a list of available Views which will allow you to view your tasks based on some specific criteria, but you can also create the Views for Tasks which correspond to your own needs. Say these can be Views for tasks which you have different priority (high, normal, low) or you can create a View called “Tasks this month ” which will contain all tasks you have to fulfill during the current month.
