REPRINT YOUR AGENDIO

On December 21, 2024

We’re receiving more requests lately from customers asking how to reprint an agendio. This is a great time to review how to do that, since now there are two ways to build an agendio (Classic and Pro).

First, let’s look at Classic

1. Start by signing in: Go to the silhouette on the top right of the home page and select the option to Sign in

2. Then go to the silhouette again and select “Go to my purchased Classic agendios

3. Scroll down to the Purchased agendios section and look for the agendio you wish to reprint.

4. Roll over “Options” and click on “Update & Re-order”. This will bring you to the Builder and load your agendio automatically.

5. Review each section of the Builder to be sure that every part of your agendio is customized as you want it. In particular, check that your activities and events are still correct, that the dates are accurate and that your cover details are as you want them to be.

6. Once you’re sure that all is good, add to cart and checkout.

AUTO-ALIGN YOUR PAGELETS

By Max

On December 12, 2024

In Builder, General

You can now auto-align your pagelets in the Designer!

When you create pagelets side by side, it’s not always easy to ensure that their borders are aligned. When working on the Designer screen, you may not notice a slight misalignment that you will then see in the print version of your planner.

So we’ve now added a new auto-alignment feature for monitors. It automatically scans for neighboring pagelets and aligns the edge of the live pagelet with its neighbors.

And while we’re on the topic of pagelets, do you know about snapping?

The Designer doesn’t allow empty spaces on a page – Every bit of each page must be covered with pagelets to ensure your page prints properly.

So last month we added snapping: If two pagelets in a column are very close to each other but don’t touch, we snap them together for you, to minimize the risk of there being any empty spaces on your page.

You can find out more in our Features section.

MORE PRO TEMPLATES

Agendio Pro offers amazing new features such as building your pages from blank canvases, stretching and shrinking pagelets, two fonts per page and much more.

Another big plus is that with Pro, we’ve added new templates and canvases that many of you have asked for over the years, for example a weekly column layout with 4 days/columns on the left.

Classic offers “5 columns-on-the-left” and “3 columns-on-the-left”. But some of you find the columns on the 5 too narrow for your needs, and the 3 too wide, but that 4 would be just right. So we’ve added that option in Pro for you, not only as templates, but also as a blank canvas for you to make your own page.

Try the 4-column and see if it’s the right fit for you. And, if you make a layout that you think will interest others, remember that you can also share it with the community.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

We know it’s not 2025 yet, but January is 35 days from today and many of you have not purchased your next agendio.

So we thought we’d remind you about the risk of shipping delays and longer production times, and of waiting for your new agendio to show up in January because you started working on it too late.

Or you could order now and receive it in December with much less stress.

And this year there’s another reason to start now: Agendio Pro. The reaction has been amazing and the new features are very engaging. But Pro takes a little longer, because you’ll need to make your custom pages.

So, what are you waiting for?

TIPS FOR GREAT FONT COMBINATIONS

By Max

With the introduction of Agendio Pro, we have added many new options for you to use in designing your pages. It occurs to us that many of you may feel a little overwhelmed – Would you like us to share with you some design ideas to make the most of your options?

Today I’ll share with you a few pointers for selecting fonts. Pro allows you to mix two fonts on the same page, one for page headers and the other for the body text. There are better and worse ways to mix them.

First, let’s review the basic kinds of fonts:

Serif fonts:

‘Serif’ refers to the small details attached to each letter. These details, combined with the varied width of the letter strokes create a very legible font. Our “Classic”, “Stylish”, “Alternative” and “Playful” fonts fit in this category.

Sans Serif fonts:

Sans Serif means exactly that: without serifs. Sans serif fonts provide a more modern, clean look. Our “Smooth” and “Lean” fonts are good examples of sans serif.

Script fonts:

Script font styles look like handwriting and have a more personal feel, as you can see from our Script category.

What rules should you follow?

When all is said and done, there are two main rules.

Go for contrast – Pair fonts from different categories to differentiate the header text from the body text. That’s why header fonts are usually more elaborate, heavier and fancier and the body text font is usually lighter.
Select a simpler or sans serif font for your body text: Fancy lettering looks great at the top of a page or the front of a book, but it can be hard on the eyes to read pages of text printed in a very elaborate font.

Combine the two, and you get

That being said, you can choose similar or identical fonts for your header and body if you like the look. It isn’t wrong to do that – It’s just a little less interesting for the eye and won’t do as good a job of separating headers from body text.

NEW ROW LAYOUTS

On October 7, 2024

In Builder, Layouts, Planning

With the introduction of Pro, we have added many new template layouts. Over the next weeks and months, we plan to highlight many of them for you.

Today we’re showing you some new row formats, the 4 / 3 and the 3 / 4. The first number refers to the number of days on the left page and the second to the number of days on the right page.

Here are two of our new row templates:

You can select these models by going to Pages & more, selecting Templates and setting the filter to Large / Weekly / Row and keeping checked 4 / 3 and 3 / 4.

Please note:

These are just a few of the new row templates;
After selecting templates, you can customize them substantially, including stretching pagelets, moving them and making other major changes to pagelets to suit your preferences.
You also have the option of making your own row dated layout, by choosing a Blank canvas instead of Template, filtering your options to find the row canvases of this or another type and then filling your pages exactly as you want with the pagelets that you choose.
