*** Long Description ***

Wintility Lite is the limited version of Wintility Pro.
Wintility is a smart catalog specially designed to organize documents and messages.

This software was developed specifically to optimize personnal and company management and improve productivity. It is a simple and practical tool and its functions can be easily performed by anyone.

- How it works

Using a friendly and intuitive interface, Wintility helps you create and maintain your own ideal work environment. You are then able to manage all the documents that really interest you, with flexibility and security.

Choose the mailboxes and the types of documents your catalog will consist of, such as texts, spreadsheets, images, graphs, MP3 or even messages and files you have received or created.  Besides working with absolute control over the environment, you will only need to deal with your documents, which means you won't even need to view those that do not interest you.

More and more files are stored in your computer daily. Of course, the job of keeping them organized gets more complex and time-consuming every day, mainly when more than one user occasionally names documents differently, shares stored information and saves materials of common interest. Wintility provides companies with the ideal solution, based on powerful tools that auto name (Pro only) and auto organize documents. Searching for information no longer means exploring. By using our search and view tools you will be able to locate whatever you need at a glance.

It is common practice in the work environment to save files we are not sure will ever be used again. What frequently occurs is that these files are eventually left behind and a thorough assessment of all your files would take precious, unavailable time. This software provides mechanisms that will ease both the evaluation of files and the resulting decision-making. You have access to the content of each document, which can be displayed promptly and clearly, with no need to run its associated application. You can also assign a 'time limit' to each item in the catalog and Wintility will notify you upon its expiration.

Wintility will let you:

· create catalogs based on the needs of different workgroups (Pro only);
· highlight documents and attach summarized descriptions that speed up recognition and research;
· define criteria for automatic cataloging and identification of new documents;
· manage documents and messages within one single environment, with no need to run any other application;
· synchronize your catalog with Windows Explorer to keep its structure constantly updated (Pro only);
· create multiple references to the documents in the catalog, so that one document can be associated with different purposes;
· assign passwords to documents and messages in order to avoid unauthorized access to their contents;
· run the most common e-mail functions without exiting the software.

Wintility Pro aims particularly at cooperation and teamwork. It is based on the establishment of patterns for document sharing, and regards information as a valuable company asset.

- Wintility's Main Resources

Management and Organization

Wintility is basically a logical catalog that displays documents and messages of particular interest.
You can use its Installation Wizard to configure your work environment, selecting the way you want your documents to be grouped.  The catalog will be created based on your own professional activity, or you may prefer to organize your folders according to your previous choices made in Windows Explorer. It's much simpler not only to move your files around, but also to find your way through the work environment.
In order to keep your catalog organized, Wintility Pro uses two powerful resources: the Auto-Organization and the Auto-Doc (Pro only). The Auto-Organization tool employs a set of user-defined rules to automatically catalog documents you create and receive. The folders can be organized based on flexible rules related with documents' name, type, location or any other information kept at the description. And all this may be done in accordance with a company's existing policies and procedures. New documents are identified and cataloged in the ideal location. This is an effective way to manage the information you value as a true asset of your business.

The Auto-Doc function lets you define patterns to be used when creating memorandums, facsimiles, letters, proposals etc. The software conducts the document labeling process, which allows the standardization of all electronic documentation handled by the company. The Auto-Doc function can also be applied to documents received via e-mail. Once you have selected a template and decided where to save it, it is done! From this moment on, all you have to do is click to create a new document. 

The environment

Wintility lets you perform major day-to-day, document-management operations in a single environment. You are able not only to open applications and catalog documents and e-mail messages, but add them to a Favorites list. You are also provided with a list of recently-used documents (Pro only) and you have access to common e-mail functions such as replying, forwarding and creating new messages.

Wintility highlights documents in different ways, using legends, colors and other attributes to guarantee quick identification of relevant information. 

Wintility also allows synchronizing the groups in the catalog with the folders in Windows Explorer (Pro only). This way, you maintain the whole structure constantly updated. Browsing directories to access files is also simple, even when they have not yet been cataloged. It won't be long till Wintility becomes your most reliable working tool.

Accessing Information

Wintility makes it much easier to locate documents and retrieve information. Just use document attributes as selection criteria to generate multiple views of your catalog. This greatly reduces the scope of your search.

After selecting the items sharing common characteristics, you can run a detailed search by name, location, content or description within a given subset. It is much faster and intuitive. The results of your last search will always remain available. The summarized description and the content tip tools make it easier not only to view, but also to identify documents and messages, with no need to open or run associated programs.
And there is more: important documents and messages can be protected by passwords.  Recipients will access the documents you send them via e-mail regardless of the password, even when they have not installed Wintility in their systems.

To avoid accumulation of unnecessary information, Wintility helps you reevaluate the documents you have saved on your hard disk. By assigning expiration dates you can decide which documents will be regarded as temporary, and the software will inform you when the time has come to make a decision on these documents. The clean up resources are configured to function automatically.  The use of these tools will not only improve the organization of your computer but also ease access to information that really matters.
