Syncing notes in the cloud with Evernote - #4 - Assign Attributes to Notes

Hi! This is Mike Callahan, Dr. File Finder and welcome back to part four of our special Butterscotch.com 10 part series on Evernote.

Now in this segment, we are going to look at attributes. Now, each time you create a note in Evernote, certain basic attributes are created so with Evernote open, click on any note that you have and go up here and click attributes. Now, you can see that in here, it shows the title which I can revise if I wanted to, it shows me which notebook it’s in. If I wanted to put an author like I put an author name there. Here is another place where you can add to text so that if there are more things that you think you should’ve put in but you didn’t because sometimes you make notes on the fly so this is a good place where you can go in and firm up your tags. Making your tag more complete, here is a clip from segment or you can put the URL to the site where you possibly got the information.

You see here, we have the creation date which opens up to a calendar. So, you can change the creation date. Say for example I wanted the whole series of notes all that I have started on the same date. To help make them easier to find, for you to know they work all created on the same date. I could go in and artificially change their creation dates to make them all February 1st.

I can also change the time. I can change the subjects date. And if I want it, I can put in latitude and longitude and altitude. I think right here I am about 800 feet and here you see the check box says change modification date automatically unsaf so then I say OK, so those are how attributes can be used in Evernote and that concludes part four.
