Lazlo14,

I am using logical linking to connect the contacts to the tasks they are involved with. This looks like this in UR:

Tasks
-- Task 1
---- Contact 1 (logical link)
---- Contact 2 (logical link)
---- File 1 (logical link)
---- Task 25 (logical link)


-- Task 2
---- Contact 1 (logical link)
---- File 1 (logical link)

-- Task 25


Contacts
-- C
---- Contact 1
---- Contact 2


When I open Task 1 I see all contact linked to this task. The cool thing with logical linking shows up when I click on Contact 1: Then I can see all the items where Contact 1 is linked to in the Item Parents View. I recommend to have this View open all the time when using logical linking.

I often use logical linking to add a file in different places wherever I need it. Using logical linking reduces clicks and search time. Further, it gives you the feeling to have all the necessary information at your finger tips related to the context you are.

You can even created nested structures of Task hierarchies. I can't add all my pending tasks just into a flat list because some are dependent to others or some are prequisites for others.

I will add a screenshot for clarification tomorrow.

I needed some time to understand logical linking. Just start using it. The more you use it the more powerful your linking system gets.
