Mariner Software StoryMill for Mac - Manual (Page 10)

Since your project is made up of items organized into containers in
the source list, StoryMill provides you with the following views:
• Novel, which contains the entire narrative text of your project and
is made up of chapters and scenes
• Characters, which are the actors in your project
• Scenes, which can have characters, locations and timelines
associated with them
• Locations, which are the different settings in your project
• Tasks, an example of a generic item view - a catch-all that can be
used for notes, tasks, or any number of other things
• Research, which contains researched information pertinent to
your project
• Current Tasks, which is a generic smart view.
• Trash, which contains a list of all the items you have deleted,
including the ability to restore them.
Smart views are a special kind of view based off another view. A
smart view acts like a filter and only shows items that match its
search criteria. Smart views have a gray gear situated to their
right, and use the same icon as the view they are filtering (the
generic view in the example at right).
