6.8.1 Collection Identifiers

When using multiple collections – especially collections that are in some way related to one another – you may find it useful to be able to refer to a particular collection via some brief handle.

Such a handle should generally consist of all lowercase letters, possibly with digits, but without spaces or punctuation.

Such a Collection ID may be specified in either of two ways:

• Via a Collection Shortcut, assigned as part of the Collection Settings;

• Via a Collection Folder name, fashioned following the rules above.

Note that, in order for a Collection Identifier to be available for use, Notenik must have gained awareness of the ID during its current session. This awareness can come about in multiple ways:

• Notenik may recall a collection shortcut used in a previous session;
• The collection may have been opened during the current session;
• The collection may have been opened as part of a project folder.

The most reliable way to make use of a Collection ID is:

1. Name the folder according to the specifications above;
2. Place the folder within the same parent as other folders, at the same level;
3. Start accessing any of the related folders by first opening the parent folder as a project folder.
