How To Use TimeTo™ in More Than One Location

TimeTo™ includes various features to make it easy for you to use TimeTo™ wherever you are.

If you have a notebook computer you take wherever you go, you can simply take TimeTo™ wherever you go.

If your only computer is not a notebook, or you can't always have your notebook with you, use the Favorite Printouts command (Ctrl+P) to print a list of what you need the most (such as your printed Day View for Today) to stuff in your pocket or put in your briefcase.

If you own a Palm or PocketPC device, you can transfer your TimeTo™ schedule to it, instead of printing Favorite Reports. See Palm Handheld Settings for more information.

If you often move from one computer to another at different locations (for example, one computer at the office and one computer at home), we recommend you install TimeTo™ onto a USB flash drive (or other portable memory device). TimeTo™ is especially designed so that you can carry the entire program and all your data on a portable device, and plug it into any Windows computer you happen to encounter along the way. For more information on this technique, see Using TimeTo™ with a USB Flash Drive.

If you wish to move from one computer to another, but you don't have a Flash drive or need to leave a copy of your schedule on a network so that other network users can access it while you're away, use TimeTo's Transfer To Other PC command (from the File menu) to transfer your TimeTo™ information onto portable media (such as a floppy, Zip disk, or CF card, or a network drive) for shuttling from one computer to another. First, you must have the TimeTo™ software installed on both computers. Then, when you choose the Transfer To Other PC command, TimeTo™ will keep track of where the master information is, including disallowing users from mistakenly updating the version that is not the master. All your preferences will be transferred as well, with the exception of those having to do with the display (such as the location of the Calendar Window): these settings are not transferred because there is no way of knowing if the settings will be compatible with potentially different display hardware or hardware settings on the other computer.

If you wish to move from one computer to another, but you don't have a flash drive or need to leave the master copy of your schedule on the network so that other network users can access it and change it while you're away:

use remote control software to remotely control TimeTo™ on your network workstation
use a VPN to access your network remotely, and then open your schedule
locate your password-protected timedata.pak (and its Notes subfolder) on an FTP server, then access it from any computer in the world that has TimeTo™ installed (map the FTP folder to a drive letter on the computer you are using)

If you move from one computer to another on the same network, you can launch TimeTo™ from any computer on the network. This has the additional benefit of optionally allowing others password-protected access to view and/or update your TimeTo™ information. See the Using TimeTo™ on a Network topic for more information.
