Organizing References

Reference Tracker gives you the ability to organize your references into groups. If you are, say, writing a book, you can create a group for each chapter of your book and store the references for that chapter in that group. Or if you want to organize your references so that all citations from journals are stored together and all internet references are stored together, you can create groups for these types and just drop your references into them.

Your groups are listed in the left hand column of your Reference Tracker document. You can add a new group by clicking on the 'Add Group' icon on the document window toolbar, or by selecting 'Add New Group' or 'Add New Group With Selection' from the 'References' menu.

To add a references to a group, you just drag them from the listing at the top of the document window and drop it onto a group in the groups list. You can add a reference to multiple groups, and every reference is always accessible from the 'All References' group.

You can remove a reference from a group by selecting the group, selecting the reference and clicking on the 'Remove Reference From Group' Icon in the document window toolbar.

Note: if you have one of your groups selected in the groups list, when you select a reference and press the delete key the reference will be removed from the group. However, if you have the All References group selected, when you select a reference and press the delete key, the reference will be deleted from your document.

You can remove groups from your document by adding the 'Delete Group' item to the document window toolbar. See Preferences and Customization for more info.
