And then when we’re working on a project, when we are working on meetings, we can record pages per meeting. And within there we would have a tab for every single customer, that we work with. Is the shared notebook that we have across our entire relationship management team here at ramsac.
But I have this relationship management tab over here, this relationship management notebook (sorry). So, I can add new pages, so as an example, I have, I’m not going to open it, for obvious GDPR reasons.
So, these are the files that you would put within the hanging folder within the draw just to really take that analogy to its full extreme. And then within each tab, you get a number of pages. I’ve got tab here for example, I could create another tab here called Subject 2 and so on, and so forth. Well those are represented by these tabs along the top, so once again. Within that draw, just to keep that filing cabinet analogy going, you would have a number of folders. So, there’s sort of the sections that you want to break your work down into. So, if you think of the screen in terms of a big filing cabinet, the notebooks down the left-hand side essentially represent draws in the filing cabinet. But I have one for a team I’m part of, I have one for personal notes, I have one for my department etc etc. So, I’m just in a demo notebook that I’ve created at the moment. Essentially down the left-hand side you’ve got all of your different notebooks. So, let me just explain the architecture of the screen that you see in front of you. So, it’s a bit confusing when you first go into OneNote and I think a lot of people open it, look at it don’t really understand it and walk away. So, I’ll show you how I use that as we go through this short vlog. So, I’ve got notes across all devices or any Internet enabled device and it means I can also share notebooks with colleagues. So as with most of the Microsoft 365 applications this is available via a web portal installed on my desktop, which is how I’m using it today, and also as an application on my smart phone. It also means I can access these notes across all of my devices. So, I never turned up at a customer meeting, for example, only to discover that the notes from my previous meeting are in a notepad that I finished a couple of months ago and is back in the office. But also, it enables me to ensure that all my notes are all in one place. Why is that important well, A) it just suits me, I’m definitely somebody that enjoys working with digital tool rather than a pen. I use OneNote to store documents and record my notes, pretty much everything I’m involved with and it means I’m no longer a slave to a pad and pen. So, I take all of my notes, both relating to my work at ramsac, but to be honest in all avenues of life. So, using OneNote, I’ve been able to completely ditch the notepad. So, what is OneNote? OneNote is a tool that for me personally has really changed the way I work. But, are perhaps the applications that you’re not quite so familiar with, within Microsoft Office.
This is part of a series of blogs that looks at a number of the applications that sit within the Microsoft Office 365 suite, that are really aimed to increase productivity, collaboration and mobility.
