Link attributes

[pmuckle]

Hi,

I've been looking at Ultra Recall for a day or two, and like it alot.

One thing I would really like to do is assign relationship type and attributes to the links themselves.

So a contact could be added to a project with a link 'project manager', and a reciprocal link 'project manager for' is automatically added to the contact. This would look like this:

-Projects
|_Project1
|_Contacts
| |_Project Manager - John Smith
| |_Finance Manager - Manager-John Smith

-Contacts
|_John Smith
|_Project Manager For - Project1
|_Company - Acme
|_Area Office - MyTown


I have explained this badly - there was a brilliant product called 'Info Central' (now discontinued - probably the best program I have ever used) which handled linking/relationships really well.

An easier solution for the Project-Role-Person link would be to have an additional field in the contact database for 'role'. You can simulate the effect by using the 'first name' field for 'full name', and enter the role in the 'last name' field.

This looks like this:

Project1
|_Project Manager, Bill Smith

The other thing is that the tree can get unwieldy and hard to read once you are several branches down.

Looking forward to the next release!
