First steps
Capture your first idea and watch it become tracked work.
On this page
Everything you do in ASIOS starts the same way: you drop an idea somewhere it can be captured, and the system turns it into something trackable. This page walks through that loop once, end to end.
1. Drop an idea
Find the capture drop-zone in your Workspace and type — or paste — whatever's on your mind. It doesn't need to be organized. A single sentence is enough:
Follow up with the vendor about the delayed shipment.2. Let it become tracked work
The drop-zone assigns your idea a stable id and spins it into a piece of tracked work. From this point on, that id is how the system refers to it — in views, in links, everywhere.
You don't file anything by hand. The capture step is the only manual part; everything after it — naming, linking, showing up on your board — is automatic.
3. Work it in place
Open the tracked item and write into it directly — there's no separate "session" to spin up first. Whatever you type is read as an instruction for the system to act on; when it responds, it writes its answer back into the same place, in the same file.
4. Watch your board update
Your day-board reflects tracked work automatically, grouped by status: what's active, what's on hold, what's finished. You never update the board by hand — it's generated from the same items you've been working in.
