Organizing Note Documents

Is there a way to further categorize or organize the notes documents. I usually create a new document to help me capture thoughts, ideas, outlines, etc. as I prep a sermon but then I also have other documents that are highlights in various books I'm reading. Is there an at a glance way to create a new "folder" for sermon prep documents vs. book highlights.

Or is there another system I'm not leveraging well?

I don't think you can do what you are looking for. You would have to come up with some "pre-code" system at the beginning of the note file I would think.

No way to create folders... except some users create folders in "favorites." Personally, I create various prefixes to different kinds of documents, and you could do the same. For example: I use RP to indicate a reading plan document. My highlighting document for my devotional bible reading plan looks like this:

01 — RP: NIV M’Cheyne (2015)

"01" makes sure that it appears at the top of the list in the iOS mobile app.
"RP" lets me know that it is my reading plan note document.
"NIV M'Cheyne (2015)" gives me the translation, plan, and year.

I am able to sort for reading plan documents simply by typing "RP." Personally, I would not prefix resource specific highlighting note documents. If I were preaching regularly, I might make ones for sermons... perhaps "SN" for "sermon notes."

That's a helpful system 'bama - thanks for sharing it.

Why would you not prefix resource specific highlighting note documents? I probably don't know enough about them (or use them well enough to know the difference).

Simple... that is what I have most of. If I am reading in Bad Dad's of the Bible, I have a note file called "Bad Dad's of the Bible." It is self explanatory and I have one for EVERY book I have highlighted in. I guess there could be some benefit to creating a prefix... but not enough to eliminate the hassle for me. I am hoping that FL creates an option to allow highlights to go directly to "resource specific" note files, and then creates a way to hide those note documents.

If you had a way to eliminate results in the list, having a prefix on resource specific note files would be more beneficial.

By the way... I sort the documents menu by "type," then "name." This way, I can eliminate other types of documents by closing all categories other than the one I am looking for.
