Amode is an
evolving information management platform |
|
Use tools
appropriate to your task |
|
Stop working
with 'one size (method) fits all' applications |
|
Built with the
multi-tasking professional in mind |
|
Designed by
industry experts to give the 'best of all worlds' |
|
One place to
see information, but many ways to manage it |
|
'Unlearn' the
idea that one method is better than the rest |
|
Open up your
horizons to greater productivity |
|
|
The value of a
software application is in it's appropriateness to the task you are
performing right now. The right method of presentation will vary
depending on what you are trying to achieve. Amode's MNI interface
allows you to easily change how you view and manage your information.
Mindsystems Amode is built on our unique
MNI design standard which aims to offer you true flexibility and choice.

Understanding our
Method Neutral concept...
Q) If the information is the same, what possible
benefit could there be from varying the way it is viewed? It will be the
same information regardless of how I view it, right?
A) True, the information
will be the same...but how you view it will determine how easy it is to
manage and what perspective you have.
Look at the graphic to the top right. The
cube represents the information. Depending on which angle you view it
from it will appear different, with a different perspective, but
ultimately the information inside remains the same.
When software allows you to see
everything from varied perspectives, it is an incredibly powerful tool.
Software that is too focused on one
method of presentation is much less useful than software that allows you
to view things from several different perspectives. In day to day use,
the most effective method of viewing information will come down to the
nature of the task you are performing. |

Mindsystems Amode is a highly
flexible information handling application, use it to manage almost
anything!
Mindsystems Amode is a unique and very
effective information management tool because it offers a functional
compromise between the power of visual presentation, and the real world
practicality of traditional linear methods. |
Tree
Mode
Pure visual formats are ok for demostrating
ideas, but in real terms a picture is not always worth 1000 words! Sometimes a
graphic is not enough to manage the detail.
The Amode Tree format ensures your information is
presented in a clear and consistent way, allowing you to manage information
visually without the workspace becoming cluttered.
The new Tree interface has been completely rebuilt,
including a smooth drag and drop interface and clear visual markers to add
viewing clarity. It allows easy and visually compelling management of your
information.
Calendar
Mode
What appointments do you have today in relation
to this project?
So you need to set alarms that will notify you
even if Amode is not running? No problem...
View tasks and alarms in a familiar Outlook style
calendar format, even export your tasks to Microsoft Outlook for further
integration with your workflow.
Set tasks/alarms using simple right click function
then zoom in and out of day/week/month or adjust time scale!
Gantt
Mode
Expert project management without the complexity
of MS Project! Create multi task projects with start/finish dates and times
(right down to the minute mark), Gantt charts, progress, priority, resources,
milestones and relationships.
Share resources across multiple projects and view work loads as percentages or
hourly. Create unlimited custom calendars for different working hours/scenarios.
Use the Gantt Mode total bar to instantly see
resources assigned to to project, time, progress to date and total cost
(including ability to set a custom tax rate such as GST/VAT). Generate project
cost quotes for your clients in PDF or Excel!
Briefcase
Mode
Briefcase Mode enables you to view multiple
projects side by side.
You can expand/contract branches, add tickler
notes, change topic text, see visual icons, drill down into detail and even
group projects into logical groups called 'Project Stacks'.
This unique function enables you to quickly gain
insight into cross project issues.
The crisp Amode display style combined with the
power of side-by side comparison ensures you gain maximum insight into your
projects without being distracted by unnecessary visual markers.

available is divided and this may in turn effect your ability to
use the software in conjunction with other applications.

regime. There may be instances in which network permissions,
firewalls or other restrictions cause irregular behaviour.
You should always test this function prior to using in real
working scenarios. Additionally, it is recommended the file
share setup is kept basic either via MS Work Group or
Windows Domain Shares.
