WorkLife Tools Palette
The Palette
For the buttons and executable commands that are described n this section to work it is assumed that you have installed A WorkLife FrameWork™™ and have loaded it. This can be done either from the Load WorkLife Framework button on the supplied palette, by executing the command Needs["Diary`Diary`"], or by clicking on the following button:
The WorkLife Tools Palette is the general starting point for using the WorkLife FrameWork™ Package. If it is not visible it can be opened by executing
by clicking the WorkLife Tools button on the All Palettes Palette, or by clicking on the Tools button near the top of most Palettes in the Package.
When first opened in a new session of A WorkLife FrameWork, the WorkLife Tools Palette looks like the Palette below (and it also looks like this is has been when compactified by clicking on the Compactify button at the top of the Palette). If, for example, the Diary Access sub-palette is opened, it looks as on the right.
The WorkLife Tools Palette as it appears when first opened
In this image of the WorkLife Tools Palette all of its sub-palettes are seen to be closed. You can toggle between each of these sub-paletts by clicking on their main button—the Diary Access button in the cse of the Diary Access Palette. If you click on the ◂ button to its left, the Diary Access Palette will open as a separate Palette in its own right, and this is the case for the other sub-palettes as well. For more on the Diary Access Palette see its documentation.
The Administrative buttons on WorkLife Tools Palette include the familiar Compactify buttons with the addition of a small button to open the Scientific Arts web site,
the Close, Collapse, and ? buttons along with a Copyright © button,
and finally three buttons that are unique to the WorkLife Tools Palette.
The first two include the Hide Palettes button which hides all of the Palettes from the screen and replaces them with a single place holder Palette that looks like:
When the Show Palettes button is clicked, the original configuration of the Palettes is reopened.
The red button to the right of the Hide Palettes button has a similar purpose. When clicked, all of the Palettes from the screen are hidden and a single green button,  , is placed on the screen in one corner. Clicking on this button reverts to the original configuration of the Palettes.
The Close Others button closes all currently open Palettes except for the WorkLife Tools Palette.
The Default button resets the currently open set of Palettes to be only those in the Default Set of Palettes. To specify your default set of palettes use the Choose Default Set Button from the Favorite Palettes Palette.
This opens a dialog that allows you to search for Diaries and Notebooks by typing a portion of their name. This can also be opened programmatically by executing:
The dialog looks like the following:
The Search For a Notebook dialog initiated by the Find Diaries & Notebooks button.
In this dialog you can type any snippet of the name of a Notebook or of a Diary and the Search button will yield all examples of known Diaries or Notebooks that match that form. You can also use wildcard such as *.
When there are a large number of overlapping palettes on the screen, this button cyclically rotates them so that you can bring whichever pallet you wish to access to the front. An alternative way to do this is to use the All Notebooks Palette.
This button shows the name of the current Diary. It is refreshed whenever a Diary is made the current Diary. In this example it is the Diary named Documentation Notes. If there is no current Diary then this button reads None. The current Diary can be opened (or brought to the front, if it is already open) by clicking on this button itself.
Opens the Favorite Palettes Palette. This can also be opened programmatically by executing:
