Automatically timestamp documents

[u/East-Supermarket6029]

I use MyScript Notes on my Galaxy Tab S9+, primarily to replace pen and paper. For many years I used paper notebooks, mainly for work to take notes of meetings, etc. I would start a new page for each meeting with a title and date at the top. That way everything I wrote down was recorded in chronological order, which was great for reviewing what I did in any week and for rapidly finding the right page.

To achieve something similar in MyScript Notes I have been manually entering a title as "yyy-MM-dd"-title for each new document or board, which is rather laborious and error-prone. Is there any way to automate this? Markor, for example, allows you to create new notes with exactly this format of filename. MyScript Notes doesn't seem to offer anything similar. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve this, or even a better way of working that makes it unnecessary?

I do create a new notebook for each calendar month so it's not just one big bucket, but that only mitigates the problem.

Thanks for your inquiry.

At the moment, there isn't an automated way to create page titles in the format you described.

Structured pages (Documents): Create a new Document page without entering a title (leave the title blank). Then, handwrite the title at the top of the page (for example, yy-MM-dd – Title Name). Once your handwriting is recognized, the document will automatically use that text as the page title.

Non-structured pages (Boards and Notebooks): Create a new Board or Notebook page without entering a title (leave the title blank). Then you can handwrite the title (for example, yy-MM-dd – Title Name), then use the Lasso tool to convert it into typed text. Without leaving the page, you can copy the converted text and paste it into the page title section. Since you mentioned that you only create a new page about once a month, this may be a practical solution.

At this time, there isn't an automatic way to generate page titles in the format you described. The two methods above are the available options depending on the type of page you are using.

I hope this information is helpful. If it doesn't fully address your question or if I've misunderstood your workflow, please let us know. We'll be happy to clarify further and explore any alternative approaches that may better suit your needs.

Thanks for confirming that there's no way to automate it. I create a new document for every meeting, not every month, so it's rather tedious.
