The data in this screen is displayed within a table. To navigate between rows and cells, you can use the mouse, the arrows keys or the Tab, Shift+Tab keys. The Enter key moves down cells within the same column.

The Topics are ordered in data entry order. "None" is on the top of the list and cannot be updated or deleted.

Enter a new topic using the Add Topic button or if you are on the last row, just press tab key or down arrow key. The description does not have to be entered. It is only displayed on the Topics screen. The colours you choose will be the display text colour and background colour for all thoughts, projects, actions and items within that topic on all review screens. Avoid using red and grey as these colours have special meaning.

If you notice a mistake, you can navigate to the appropriate cell and make the changes. To modify the colour, you have to click once on the cell to open the window Choose a Colour.

You can delete a topic by using the Delete Topic button or the Command+Delete shortcut key. No confirmation is required. If the topic has been associated to data, a dialog box opens to let you choose with which topic you would like to replace the one you are deleting.
