One of the key steps in processing information with Zoot is database selection. Whether you're clipping information from another application or entering it directly in Zoot, the first step in the process is to decide where (in which database) to store it. This decision isn't critical, since you can easily move data from one Zoot database to another, but it's more efficient to get it right the first time.
When you click the Open button, Zoot displays a pop-up menu of databases from which to choose.
A key question to ask yourself when deciding where to store information is "Where will I intuitively look for this information two months from now?". For some data types the answer is easy: If you're creating a task item, the Tasks database is the obvious choice. If you're keeping a diary, the Journal database makes sense. Zoot even provides a database called Atoms, which serves as a kind of catch-all database for when you're not quite sure where to put something. After some time working with Zoot you will become quite adept at selecting the best database for your data.
