#HOW TO USE ONENOTE TO MANAGE EMPLOYEES HOW TO#
We investigate how to capture a screen clipping and add it to your notes or how to print anything on your computer directly to OneNote. All other functions are similarly covered, which provides a hands-on learning experience. We then explore toolbars and the 'Insert' tab to show you how to customize the quick access toolbar with a simple demonstration delivered via screen sharing. We walk you through all the steps required to demonstrate the functions and features of the key tabs in the OneNote ‘ribbon’. We explore its exciting new features and interface, starting with the creation of a notebook with sections as we explain how assigning colourful tabs to those sections can establish a meaningful and easy-to-navigate reservoir of information relevant to a project. That would be an effective and productive way to manage information related to a specific project and OneNote has all these functionalities and more. Imagine if you could file the minutes of a team meeting, the presentation that was shown in that meeting, a worksheet with relevant data for your next project, all the links of useful websites to complete a project, the emails related to the project and even the audio recording of a client detailing their specific requirement… all in one single folder. We explain these versions and how to access them and answer questions like: Can I work with OneNote on any device? Which version is most suitable for me if I want to work on a desktop? Can I work on OneNote in touch mode? We guide you through a step-by-step account of working with OneNote which, like all other Microsoft applications, is accessible in different versions. This course on the basics of OneNote is useful for beginners and benefits those upgrading from a previous version of the program.
It supports notes, drawings, handwriting, screen clipping, audio, video and other types of content. Microsoft OneNote is an all-in-one notetaking, information-gathering and multi-user collaboration tool. In any case, I’ll definitely mention your excellent blog to other OneNote evangelists and users.In today’s information-driven world, it is worth mastering effective management of data through technology. Would you like to convert to 2010-2013 format?” Even just mentioning that conversion button in a prominent place in a Getting Started guide or FAQ would mitigate user frustration that could be hidden out there. Some features, such as cross-platform and Web access, are not supported. One simple enhancement would go a long way: When legacy notebooks are detected, simply pop up a dialog displaying: “The current notebook is in an older OneNote 2007 format. Conversion support could be a little more robust. Other longtime OneNote users may run into similar issues out there. Now that I’m clear on 2010-2013 sharing the same format, I’d say that old notebook must have been a holdover from OneNote 2007. It would have been nice to try the convert button you discovered. I did it the hard way: Renamed the old notebook, created a new one with my preferred name, moved all contents to the new one then deleted the old. Fortunately, I finally got that older notebook converted to 2010-2013 format and can now access it from any device or the Web. I really appreciate your in-depth research and helpful tips. In summary, setting up Notebooks in SharePoint does work as expected – it’s just working its magic in the “back end” away from non-technical end user eyes… Check it out:Ī folder ! And when you drill down, here’s the gold:
Then Colin came up with the brilliant idea to open the Site Assets Library in Window Explorer view. But creating a blank “Test” view yielded the same results as above. We considered that perhaps the default Site Assets Library view was configured in some way to not show folders. Logically, we started in the Site Contents area of the SharePoint site and discovered that the location where the Notebook was stored (Site Assets) contained 56 items… yet when we went into the Site Assets library, there was only one file ( see above). My colleague Colin and I put on our sleuthing hats and went digging for answers. OneNote Notebook stored in SharePoint in a Site Assets library: OneNote Notebook stored locally on my computer in C drive: The folders appeared to be missing. Something was not quite right and I was intent to discover what was going on… I also took a moment to ponder why OneNote Notebooks stored and synced to locations in SharePoint site either on-premise and online in Office 365 appeared to only use files.
In my “ How OneNote Notebook Files (and Folders) Work” blog post, I shared some screenshots to clarify how OneNote uses folders and files to manage the data.
