Information Presentation (continued)

Memoir Presentation Templates provide an alternative to the automatic formatting and knowledge-based assembly of your journal information. Now & Then provides a library of pre-built Presentation Templates for a wide range of interests and activities.

You can easily customize and personalize Presentation Templates to reflect your own focus and preferences. Or you can use the Template Builder to construct your own Presentation Templates. Using the Template Builder you define presentation parameters and preferences such as: information representation, aggregation, dissection, time, series, topic, focus, perspective, and viewpoint. Now & Then's partners also provide pre-built Presentation Templates for specific life interests such as health, career, relationships, citizen sports, and leisure activities.

Tracked, Logged & Grid information
Representation methods for tracked and logged information such as "my weight over time" include combinations of tables, grids, timelines, charts, narrative, pictures, and graphics.

Attributes such as units, scale, time series, ratios, and percentage change can be customized to the information and your current focus. You can compare information milestones and benchmarks, and see trends and patterns useful when setting your goals and the actions for their attainment.

With use, Now & Then improves how it represents knowledge and displays query results. It makes better decisions regarding when to present information as a timeline, a graph, include photos, arrange narrative, and to use association-links, and "follow-me" journal links. It understands your preferences, use patterns, and feedback and adapts its presentation formats to reflect how you personally want your query results organized and displayed (for easy analysis, visualization and review).

For your journal to provide insight and discovery, you need to be inspired to update your journal with meaningful information―every day while it is still fresh in your mind. Now & Then's intuitive information aggregation and graphic presentation schemes provides that needed motivation. Every "ah ha" moment you experience when reviewing your journal increases your motivation to keep your journal updated.
