Tabbles
|
Tabbles bridges the gap between a file manager and document management system. It's strong as a DMS and easy as a file manager.
Tabbles allows the user to categorize, sort and search files/folders by linking them to the concepts they are related to. These "concepts" are shaped as a bubble and grouped in color coded categories: these are the tabbles (standing for tag-bubbles). Files and folders can be linked to as many tabbles the user needs: this solves the problem "should I store this file in folder A, in folder B or folder C". When the user will need that file, all you will not need to remember the path of the folder where the file is stored: all he needs to remember is what that file was about, and describe it (using the Combine feature) using the tabbles: the program will then guide the user to that file in natural and user-friendly way.
The Combine feature: Find your files by thinking of them.
The Combine feature will show you all the files linked to the each one of the tabbles you are combined. This means that each Combination will show you all the files, folders and URLs grouped by the concepts they are related to, and not by their location on the hard drive. A Combine can be explained as a logical AND operation: the innovation introduced by Tabbles is the way this operation is performed.
Horizontal browsing: navigate through files based on their relation
Horizontal browsing represents a groundbreaking improvement in the file-browsing: it allows you to navigate throughout your files and folders based on the tabbles they are linked to. This will allow you to search, browse and sort files which are located far away from each other, but are a cross-linked to same tabbles. Horizontal browsing is tightly linked to the Combine concept: it consists of dynamically modifying combinations of tabbles.
Tabbles is well integrated into the Microsoft Windows environment: categorization can be done using the usual explorer functions, such as copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop (keyboard shortcuts and right-button menu included) or using the buttons on the tabble.
A tabble is a tag-bubble
The word tabble stands for "tag-bubble", sometimes they behave like a tag, some other times like a container. With Tabbles you can categorize your files, folders or internet addresses by cross-linking them to one or more tabbles.Since Tabbles is a deskop application, it's well integrated into the Microsoft Windows environment: categorization can be done using the usual explorer functions, such as copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop (keyboard shortcuts and right-button menu included) or using the buttons on the tabble's. The categories are groups of tabbles sharing color and shape.
Cross-linking:
I would like to have the same file into two folders, now what
Using Tabbles the you won't need to worry about this anymore. Using Tabbles you can categorize your files by cross-linking them to as many tabbles as you need. And as time goes and things change, Tabbles allows you to rearrange your categorization easily, quickly, and whenever you want. Then your business grows and you need need to further rearrange your files: no worries, with Tabbles it's easier than what you think. Tabbles has been designed with dynamicity in mind, categorizing and finding files is faster than ever.

Collaborate:
Check in/out of files and tabbles
The Collaborate functions are a major time saver when sending or receiving files. The Export function allows you to export the files connected to one tabbles or to a combination and zip them. This alone, would provide a outstanding help when you need to send files over to coworker, a partner or a customer. The best feature is that Tabbles will not only zip the files you need to send, but will also include all the information regarding the categorization of those files: the recipient of the zip file you exported can import it into his own Tabbles' database. The recipient will then be able to see the files you exported along with the tabbles they're connected to: this will deliver a outstanding help for the recipient to understand "what-is-what" and will save you the time to explain him what he's dealing with.
The files that you originally exported, can in turn be re-exported to you after they've been modified: your copy of Tabbles will recognize the files and the tabbles, import them and place them next to the old files, tagging them according to the user who exported them for you. In case the person you're sending to does not own a copy of Tabbles (a free viewer will soon be available on the Tabbles website in the download section) he can still extract the zip file and use the files normally: you won't be able to fully benefit from the Export/Import function, but you will still have saved the time to handpick the files prior to sending them. The availability of these features depends on the selected license.
Archiving and backup:
Browse your backup disks as you browse your hard-drive
The Backup function allows you to backup your files and folders using the Tabbles categorization. You can quickly and easily backup things like a project, all the files related to a certain product, or a Combine of tabbles. The Archive function will allow you to backup your files and folders on an external drive keeping track of where they are. The archiving function will allow you to use external or removable supports and virtually extend your hard-drive to them. The availability of these features depends on the selected license. The features are currently under development.
