Overview
Listomni has four main types of objects:
Lists, Items, Folders, and Dictionaries.
Lists hold items and are the basic unit of organization in the app. Every List has a name and a specific type which defines what fields are available for items on that list You can create new lists and delete existing ones
A List Item is something you need to remember such as "Milk" or "Toothbrush." Depending on the list type you add the item to, you can also enter different information for each item. For Example: To Do List Items have due dates, Grocery List Items have quantities and costs. You can add items to a list, delete them, edit them, check them off, email them, and move or copy them to a different list.
Folders contain Lists, or other Folders. This allows you to organize your lists in a folder hierarchy.
Dictionaries are used to remember things that you've entered into the app before. This includes entire items, and individual field values. Whenever there is a list that you can pick a value from, a dictionary is in use.

List Philosphies
There are three schools of thought on how best to maintain a list in the app:
Method One: Add items to the list as needed, check an item off when you fulfill it, then delete checked off items after that particular trip or activity. Cost totaling works best with this method, as Checked off items can be counted up so you can see how much you've spent so far.
Method Two: Add items as needed, delete them as you fulfill them. This is the cleanest method when you don't care about Cost totaling during the activity, and don't need the list as a mnemonic.
Method Three: Add all the items to the list you'll ever need. Check items off when you fulfill them. Uncheck them when you need them again, or before the activity. This method works best when you need a reminder list for a recurring activity, but it doesn't work as well with Cost Totaling, as items will be included in the total at inappropriate times.
In all cases, you only type a full item in once, as Listomni remembers what you've typed even if you've deleted the item. It will recommend the item if you start to type it again. We mention this, because many people opt for Method three in an attempt avoid retyping items, which we feel is the least valid reason to pick that method.

To reorder grouping sections from List View:
1) Tap Edit.
2) Tap any round reorder handle on the right hand side of any Group Header.
A) The first area lets you setup sorting behavior for the group sections based on a dictionary view, the section's natural order (alphabetic or chronological), and specify where items that don't have a value set for the grouping field end up.
B) The second area shows you how the Groups will be ordered.
C) To manually order the group headers at any time Press and Drag the rows to the order you want using the reorder handles on the right.
Note that this Ordering is specific to the current view, so if you create additional views, it is possible to order things like sections differently.

View Options Explained
Views consist of a Name, a List Scope, an Optional Grouping Hierarchy, an optional set of properties to sort items by, and optionally, an custom cell layout.
A) The List Scope determines if the View is available for all lists of that type, or just a specific list.
B) The Grouping Hierarchy will consolidate items with the same value for a property under a Group Header which lists the Value.
C) If multiple properties are grouped, the second group in the list isn't visible in the list until you Filter by a value in the first group.
D) Automatic Sorting lets you order items on the list within each group. If no group hierarchy is defined, the entire list is sorted. If no sorts are specified, then you can manually order items while in List View.
E) If you optionally enable and set a different Item Layout than the list's default (See Item Layout under List Options), then when the view is in use, Field positions an row colors will follow the custom layout.

Sort and Group Options
A) When defining either a sort or a group, you must specify the list property to sort or group on.
B) When you add an Automatic Sort to a view, you can also specify the Sort Direction.
Groups are a bit more configurable and include options for:
C) Showing empty groups all the time, while editing or never.
D) Including items that don't have a value set when filtering on any group
These last two Group Options are explained in more detail the next two sections.

Shows Empty Groups
The "Shows Empty Groups" (A) setting if the View shows the Group Header for all possible values even if there isn't a visible item for the Group Value on the list. (B)
This is useful While Editing because it lets you set list values on items such as Grocery Store by dragging items to different headers by the Move Handle (C).
Similarly while not in Edit mode, you can "Open a Group" (Such as a specific Store) and then add items to it regardless as to whether there was a visible item in the group already.
Note that for Grocery Sections, or fields that have may values, this setting is not recommended.

Including Not Set Values when Filtering
When "Filtering Includes Not Set" (A) is enabled, tapping on a group header to filter the list (B) will include items that don't have a value set for the grouping property (C). This is useful for Grocery Lists when you don't care what particular store you plan to buy an item at. The item will still appear even when filtering by a specific Store value.
8. Settings Tab
Settings Tab
The Settings tab lets you configure Application wide behavior such as screen rotation and timeout, badge display, a few formatting settings, and typing behavior.

Combo Lock Options
Options available on the Combination Lock Page are:
A) Disable the Combination
B) Change the Combination
C) When the Application should require the pass code. (Protects the entire App)
D) Which Lists, Folders, or Screens require the pass code to be entered to view them, delete them, or copy items to them. (Protects Individual Lists) Note that protecting a list also protects that list's dictionary and any other list using the same dictionary, since data frequently moves between a list and its dictionary.
Note that you can protect a list without pass coding the entire app. Once you unlock a list, it will remain unlocked the rest of your session, unless you also require the combination on wake, in which case lists are relocked when the app falls asleep.
After four unsuccessful attempts at the combination, the app quits, and only one attempt is allowed on app relaunch, until the correct code is received. If you're more concerned than this about security, please consider pass coding your entire device instead, as otherwise, anyone could delete the app.

Splashscreen
Many people have contacted us asking to disable the splash screen when the app first opens.
Currently there isn't a way to disable the splash screen, mainly because of the way that third part apps are launched by the iPhone OS:
There is about a second or two of application launch time which is all Apple overhead. This is hidden in the built in applications such as Notepad, Mail and Safari, because Apple actually shows you a splash screen which was a screen shot from the application the last time it was closed. (Try clicking around in notes or mail immediately after launching and you'll notice it doesn't respond for 1-2 seconds.)
Apple doesn't currently enable this trick for 3rd party applications. We can only have a static image which is displayed during this time (The splashscreen) (It's either that or a black screen during this time) We will be looking to change this and appropriate Apple's little trick as soon as they open it up, as we agree that there is value of being able to see what's on the list right away even before you can interact with it.

Second Group Not Visible!
The Group By Store then Section view is only showing Stores not Sections!
This is actually by design. Only one grouping is visible at a time. You need to filter on a specific group in order to see the second level of grouping
1) Tap a Group Header to Filter on that Group an see the items in that group grouped by the second Level in the Grouping hierarchy:
2) Tap the back button to remove the filter.
