Using the SuperMemo Software:
Editing Cards





When you create a new card using the New button in the Card List view or when you tap an existing card twice, you will get into the Card Edit screen.

You can learn about this screen in these four sections:

    Card Edit screen
back to top ^

*   Navigation

To move from one field to another you can tap the appropriate fields with your stylus. Another way is to use the hardware Up and Down buttons. These will move the focus one field up or down.

To move the focus one field up or down you can also use the special Graffiti characters called previous field and next field. The previous field character is a move from the bottom to the top of the Graffiti area and back. The next field character is quite the opposite, move your stylus from top to bottom and back in the Graffiti area of your device.

*   Category selection

If you want to change the card category, just tap the category name in the top right corner and select the desired category from the list that will appear.

Next to each category name in the list you can see the number of cards that each category has. If you want to create, rename, or delete any category, select the last line in the category list, Edit Categories. If this line is not visible, you will have to scroll the list down using the hardware Up/Down buttons or the arrows in the list.

For more information about creating, deleting, renaming or other category operations see the Categories chapter.

    Tap the category selector Category list

The names of the six item fields can be edited when you tap the appropriate field label. Field names of all cards in one category are always the same. Each category can have different field names.

    Tap the field label Edit the field name
