IQTELL
IQTELL is not just about tasks. It’s app that can help you manage and organize all your life’s information. Everything is optional, just use what works for you. You can even build custom apps; if you’d like to learn more, email us.
Yes. Your email folders are an integral part of your cloud based IQTELL Workspace. Get everything done from one place.
Your messages from your email accounts will be automatically fetched for you once you sign for your free IQTELL accounts.
All your email will be conveniently organized under your “Email” folders within your IQTELL Workspace. There’s no need to separately log in to your email accounts, and there is no need to forward your messages from any of your existing email accounts.
Have several email accounts? Gmail? Yahoo? Hotmail? AOL? Others? Not a problem!
Specify your email accounts in your IQTELL profile, and IQTELL will automatically pull all your email from these accounts for you and place them in your “Email” folders in your IQTELL Workspace. Stop wasting valuable time logging in to each account separately.
All you need to do is log in to your IQTELL account at www.iqtell.com.
Everything will be all there for you “under one roof” – your Emails, Contacts, Documents, Notes, Accounts, Tasks, and all your important information. It will be all efficiently organized within the various folders and sub-folders of your Workspace!
The IQ Application allows you to instantly link and create “follow-up” entries from within anywhere in your IQ Workspace. For example, when you receive an email that requires you to take action (make a phone call, go to a store, or create a to-do item) – in which case, you can quickly create a Task or a Note directly from that email.
Any such newly created entry maintains the information as to which entry in the Workspace was the “Initiating Entry”, so you can easily tell “what caused what.”
Example: You received an email from your favorite online store containing a coupon code. In this case, you would quickly create a task directly from that email to make sure you take advantage of the great discount before it expires. You can even use the built-in IQTELL reminders so that you don’t miss this opportunity.
Any time you send an email to or receive an email from someone who is not in your Contacts list, the IQ Application will ask if you would like to add that person as a contact. IQTELL will even ask you if you’d like to add a new email address to an existing contact when it recognizes the name.
Example: You have a contact named Jessica Kaplan with an email address of jjk123@abcdemail.com. If you receive an email from jessica.kaplan@EAGPJewelers.net, IQTELL will ask if you’d like to add this new address to Jessica Kaplan’s contact information, or if you’d like to create a new contact.
IQTELL makes it easier to stay in touch with friends and family with its Auto-search and Auto-complete capabilities. When composing an email within IQTELL, you can simply begin typing the name of a Contact or a Contact Group into the “To”, “Cc”, or “Bcc” portion of the email, and IQTELL will instantly show the matching entries within your “Contacts”, as well as the “Contact Groups” folders. Yes, you can select a contact group and your email will be sent to all the persons within the selected group.
In addition to contact name and email, Auto-complete also searches for additional information, such as company name. Thus, for example, if you are about to compose an email to a person at “PNC Bank”, but forgot that person’s name, you can type “PNC” and IQTELL will automatically search and propose all contacts within that bank. That way, you can easily identify the person to whom you wish to send this email.
Example: If you have a group named “Spring Break Trip ‘09”, just type “spring” into the “To” section and IQTELL will instantly search your contacts for the word “spring”. And so, with a single click of a button, you will be sending an email to all your contacts within this group.
Using your IQTELL Virtual Workspace, you may also define useful notifications for actions you may need to take relating to your Inbox. Therefore, whether you are next to your computer or away, you will receive email or text messages letting you know that action is required.
Example: Define a simple rule for receiving Notifications when you have more than 10 unread emails in your Inbox.
Example: Set up a notification when you have an email with action required today.
Managing your tasks and to-do items was never easier.
Use your cloud based IQTELL Workspace to create and manage your tasks. IQTELL offers easy task management, which is simply powerful, and quite importantly, accessible to you from any computer!
Add an item to your to-do list with just one click – enter a quick text for the topic and press the “Enter” key. While you’re at it, you can also pick a Due Date and even enter a quick description. Later on, you can review your outstanding tasks from your IQ Application Homepage, mark those that you’re finished with as “Completed”, or add any pertinent information as needed.
Tracking the progress of your tasks is simple. You can tag tasks as “Initiated” at the start, and “Completed” at the end. Others may require further follow up. You may flag those tasks as “In Progress”, note action taken, and specify what you’re waiting for as a next step.
IQTELL enables you to customize how to keep track of your tasks and to-do items your way!
In addition to Due Dates, you may also find it useful at times, to specify a Milestone, e.g., “Due Date of First Draft”. This way, you can stage tasks to ensure the task is accomplished by the Due Date.
Worried that you might forget items on your to-do list? Set Reminders for any of your tasks. IQTELL will automatically send you email or text message Notifications to let you know about milestones and deadlines that are approaching.
Example: Set a reminder to notify you a day in advance before a presentation is due, or three days ahead of your parents’ anniversary to make sure you have sufficient time to arrange for flowers to be sent.
IQTELL offers the ability to add descriptions, comments, and quite importantly, specify related Contactsto any task. You can also link tasks to other relevant information – such as Email, Notes and Documents.
That way, when you’re viewing a task, you can just click on those hyperlinks to view any related document, email, contact, or note.
Example: While viewing the email you received from Joe, your broker, requesting you to send him your credit report; you instantly create a to-do item from this specific email.
Example: When reviewing the “Prepare a Proposal for Calvin” task, you can click on the “Documents” link within that task to automatically open the proposal you have been working on for this client.
When you check your Email through the IQ Workspace, you can create tasks straight from your messages. In doing so, IQTELL will automatically copy relevant data from the email to the task you’re creating.
When reviewing such tasks at any time, you can always see the email from which you initiated this task.
Example: You get an email from your manager asking you to file a report by a given date. You then create a task so that you have a work item you can track, set a Due Date, and issue yourself reminders.
Simply go to your IQ Application Homepage and see all your tasks that are “Due Today”, “Due This Week” and “Overdue”. You can easily customize these queries, known as IQ Searches, and add any searches to address your specific needs.
You may also perform Quick Searches throughout your Virtual Workspace for to-do items by using any desired keywords and phrases. These are search-engine like searches within your own Workspace. You can perform such searches to instantly find tasks or to-do items that are related to your “Acura” car, “landscaping”, “Statistics class”, or your “mortgage”.
Using your IQTELL Virtual Workspace, you may also define useful Notifications for actions you may need to take related to your tasks and to-do items. You will receive emails or text messages letting you know when action is required.
Example: You can define a simple rule for receiving notifications when you have “any tasks due today”, when you have “any past due items”, or when you have “at least ten items due this week”.
Have a busy week coming up? Categorize and assign your tasks with different priority levels so you know which ones to take care of right away, and which ones you can put off for a few days.
Use your IQTELL Dashboard to get a quick overview of your upcoming events from ALL of your calendars.
If your calendars are synched to your Smartphone, then all your IQTELL calendar events will seamlessly synch to your Smartphone as well.
Share calendars with the rest of your household.
Keep track of your entire day in IQTELL! Include any type of event – birthdays and weddings, medical appointments and more.
IQTELL is the perfect app to help you manage your projects effectively. Projects are not just a high-level objective, a due date, and some tasks. When managing and coordinating a project, we often need to keep track of: emails, calendar events, reminders, notes, contacts, files, and information on other apps like Google Drive or Dropbox, and more.
IQTELL provides an effective project management app that lets you manage and coordinate “Everything in One Place”. As you work on your project, you never have to hop to any other app. You can easily delegate, share, and collaborate with your friends, family, and colleagues. When you share and collaborate on your project, all the information is instantly available to the rest of the team.
Easily manage and create actions and sub-actions for your project. For each action, you can easily do it yourself or delegate to a team member.
You are in full control. Manage important dates such as start, different phases (e.g., review), and the ultimate due date. For each important date, you can set reminders as well as create Calendar Events.
Projects are not just actions and due dates. There is a ton of information that is generated around a project. IQTELL provides the structure to manage all of this information in an easy and effective way. Emails & Evernotes can be easily linked and added to your project. What about Files? No problem, easily attached files to your project, or better yet link to files that may be stored on Google Drive or Dropbox. IQTELL has a place for all other project information such contacts, references websites, even brainstorming can be done and captured in IQTELL.
If your project involves more than one person, Sharing & Collaboration is a must. When you collaborate on your project in IQTELL, you can do much more than simply delegate a task. Your team members have access to all project information, files, and important dates. Everyone has access to the most recent information. Easily comment on any task or project; IQTELL provides a centralized place to view all comments. Streamline your team’s communication so you can focus on getting the right things done quickly and effectively.

Combine your contacts from your phone and various email contact lists. The IQ Application allows you to import and export from various locations so that you always have a complete and consolidated address book, accessible to you wherever you are.
Throw your little black book away. Eliminate your dependency on contacts stored in your address book and within your various email accounts.
The IQ Application supports entering and maintaining all the standard contact information you would expect, and much more.
In addition to the contact’s name, phone number, email address, and postal address, IQTELL allows you to save additional useful information. For instance, your relationship with them, where they work, when and where you met, their birthday, their anniversary date, their favorite sports teams, their hobbies, as well as comments.
IQTELL is fully customizable. For example, you can add any information “on the fly”, such as additional phone numbers, “mail to” or “ship to” information, and much more.
You can even use your “Contacts” folder in your Workspace to keep track of your contacts’ relevant family members, like their spouse and children, so you are never embarrassed by forgetting this important information.
Example: Use your “Contacts” folder to keep track of coworkers, your neighborhood friends, parents of your children’s classmates, and hobby colleagues.
Example: Search your “Contacts” folder by typing “Caribbean Cruise 2010” to quickly locate all the friends you made on that vacation.
Example: Set Reminders to notify you when birthdays and anniversaries of certain contacts are approaching.
Create as many Contact Groups as you need. IQTELL makes it easy for you to define new contact groups and select the contacts to be included in those, as well as select contacts to be added to any of your existing groups. And at any time, you can view all the members of any single contact group.
Sending an Email to every member of a contact group is easy. Simply type the name of the given group into the “To”, “Cc”, or “Bcc” portion of the email. You can also define a Task involving any individual contact or group by simply linking them to the task.
Example: Create contact groups for any part of your life, such as “Immediate Family Members”, “My Close Coworkers”, “My Best College Friends”, “My Soccer Team”, and the “Caribbean Cruise 2010”.
Example: Send an email to all the contacts in the “Parents of Barbara’s Schoolmates” contact group inviting them to Barbara’s upcoming birthday. Simply type “Parents” in the “To” portion of the email, and the Auto-compete will propose this group. That way, the given email will be sent individually to each of these parents.
Creating new contacts is simple. Enter as little information as you’d like when you first create a new contact, and add more information over time as it becomes available.
Also, it’s simple to add a new contact after receiving an Email. IQTELL will automatically copy all the relevant information from new emails for you, such as the sender’s first name, last name, and their email address.
Contacts, related information, and actions are “connected”. Using IQTELL, you can link together all relevant information throughout your Workspace. For example, see all emails, tasks, and documents related to Jim Parker.
In another example, you create Notes relevant to discussions you had with your real estate broker, Mary White. Using IQTELL, you can easily see all the entries “related” to Mary White. The notes you’ve entered for all the important conversations you had with Marry, and all the emails and documents she has sent you are just a click away.
Example: Looking for the lease you signed with Ronald Smith? All you need to do is to right-click on his contact entry and select “View Contact Related Entries”. A new tab titled “Ronald Smith: Documents” will open, allowing you view all of his related documents, highlighting the lease you were looking for.
Notes and ideas are not an exception!
Use your “Notes” folder in your IQ Workspace to enter and keep track of any notes or ideas you come across. Eliminate your dependency on the countless scraps of paper floating around your desk, in your drawers, lining your monitor, and packing your filing cabinet.
How often have you thought of a great idea, just to lose the piece of paper, napkin, or page in a book that you wrote it down on? Have an idea, a note, a tip, a knowhow, or any other useful information? Simply create a new entry in your “Notes” virtual IQ folder from any computer or from your mobile device.
Have a sketch or a drawing? Scan and upload it as an attachment so you have a copy of it and can view it in conjunction with whatever notes you have taken.
Don’t ever lose your valuable notes and ideas again.
The IQ Application helps you take advantage of your prior experiences. Easily save and keep track of lessons you’ve learned, best practices you’ve developed, and the random tidbits of information that help make your life easier for next time.
Example: After trying to resolve a dispute with your cable company, you’ve discovered the fastest way to speak to a live person is to press “0” twice.
Example: When you bought your new computer, your neighbor taught you how to make sure you have the newest version of virus protection to keep your computer safe.
Example: Enter a note to remember the name of your favorite hair stylist. While you’re at it, link that note with her contact information so you can call her directly to make an appointment for your next haircut.
Quickly search and find anything in your Workspace. Your notes and ideas are not an exception. Using IQTELL’s built-in Quick Search functionality, you can search for any note and any topic by typing in keywords. For example, search for “investment” and quickly find the entry under your “Notes” folder where you documented advice you received from a friend of yours for a new real estate investment.
Once you’ve organized your notes and ideas in the “Notes” folder in your IQ Workspace, it is easy to browse, search, and find anything you need, when you need it.
Example: Search for “windshield wiper” to find the note you created about how to change your windshield wiper blades, or how to add windshield wiper fluid in your car.
Using your IQ Workspace, you can assign importance to your notes and ideas using the “Flag” indicator.
You can also enter meaningful dates, such as a “Follow-up Date”, which you would set when you’ve thought of something that you won’t be able to tend to immediately. So, you create a note to not to have a placeholder for your good idea, and set a follow-up date and an IQ Reminder for a time when you believe that you may be less busy.
You had an idea, thought of something worthwhile exploring, and consequently created one or more Tasks linked with this entry in your “Notes” folder. These tasks will help you define specific to-do items in connection with your idea.
IQTELL will help transform your notes and ideas from words on a scrap of paper into results!
Frequently, a note is the start of additional actions to be taken. It may also result in related Documents, Emails, and link with various Contacts. In other words, you had an idea or took a note to explore something. So, you recorded the idea into your IQ Workspace and then, you followed through by performing other related activities like creating a Task, drafting a document, and corresponding with other people. By linking everything together, you can track what triggered what, and be effective in achieving best results!
Example: Adam Johnson referred a potential client to you last week. You made a note to call Susan Baker, this potential client. From that note, you created a task to call Susan next week. Today, you received an email Notification from IQTELL reminding you to call Susan. Not remembering why you need to call Susan, you click on the “Originating Entry” link to view the original note you took – describing why you need to call her.
Great ideas should not be forgotten simply because you’re too busy to cultivate them. Often, good ideas come to you when you’re in the middle of doing something unrelated.
In order to take advantage of that strike of inspiration, you can quickly enter that idea into your “Notes” folder and set a Reminder to notify you in a few hours, a week, a month, or whenever you believe you’ll have more time to review it.
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? You probably have important correspondences, applications, bank statements, bills, leases, other agreements, insurance policies, warranties, and manuals of all sorts scattered all around.
How do you manage today? Where do you keep what? How do you find what you’re looking for? IQTELL can simplify your life by helping you to organize and maintain your documents as well.
Simply upload all your important documents and files to your “Documents” folder in your personalized IQTELL Workspace. Find and use them whenever you need, from any computer.
Documents pertaining to your household, family members, work, and various files you’re working on. They could be Word, Excel, or PDF documents like bank statements, receipts, correspondences, and manuals. You need to store them safely and access them whenever you need them. With your IQTELL Virtual Workspace, all of this is accomplished easily!
Simply upload your documents and files, or attach them to entries within your IQTELL Workspace. Eliminate the need of storing them on one computer or another, in your drawer, or in the basement.
For each document or file you upload, enter a short description, like the “topic”, record the date, categorize it, and optionally add comments. Use sub-folders to group your documents, like “Household”, “Work-Related”, “Insurances”, “Manuals & Warranties”, or “School”. Whichever best fits your needs.
Keep in mind that many documents are already available in electronic format, like a PDF file. You can download them from websites, receive them electronically via email, or use a scanner to upload them to your IQTELL Workspace.
IQTELL provides you with safe storage of all your files and documents offering a 24/7 backup service.
You have access to all your important documents and files from any computer, wherever you are.
Quickly find and locate whatever you need. Use the IQTELL built-in Quick Search capabilities, which acts like a Web search engine, to find anything you’re looking for within your Workspace. Simply type in a phrase or a keyword and press the “Enter” key to search your entire Workspace.
Never worry about forgetting where you stored a document or an important file, or be frustrated when you cannot find them when you need to.
Be able to quickly sort your documents and files by date, topic, category, and persons involved.
Know how the various documents and files are related to other things in your life, like Email and Contacts.
Access all your documents from wherever you are, from any computer, whether you’re at home, at work, at a friend’s house, while in a conference, or on vacation.
All you need is any computer, any web browser, and your IQTELL login account.
Eliminate frustration over leaving an important file or a document at home or at the office. Using IQTELL, you can access any and all your documents, homework assignments, and business reports from anywhere.
Example: Last night, you brought your presentation home to work on it. Now, you’re back at your office and you realize that you left the most updated version at home! Now imagine yourself working on this presentation directly off your IQ Virtual Workspace – all you need to do is to log into your IQTELL account and fetch that file, whether you’re at home, at work, or anywhere.
Example: You’re at a friend’s house and your parked car was damaged by a hit-and-run. You’re upset and didn’t think to take the insurance card from the glove compartment before the car was towed away. What do you do now? Simply ask your friend’s permission to use his computer to log in to your IQTELL account. And there, sure enough, you’ll find all the information about how to contact your insurance company, the policy number, as well as any additional information you may need.
Your uploaded files are transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Internet technology.
All your important files and information are securely stored at a state-of-the-art data center, and your sensitive information is encrypted. All your information and documents are always safe.
Also, your entire Virtual Workspace is automatically backed up at all time. Eliminate worries about your computer breaking down, being lost or stolen, or your property being exposed to fire or other hazards.
There is no need to seek other costly solutions, for just backing up your computer – using your IQTELL account, your data will always be safe, secure, and available to you wherever you are.
We all know what it means to look for a specific document, a bill, a statement, or even a user manual when you’re really not sure where you placed it. Is it in your filing cabinet, in the basement, on your computer at home, or at work?
So, imagine that you uploaded all your important documents and organized them in virtual folders within your IQTELL Workspace. They’d always be available to you. All you’d have to do is to log in to your IQTELL account.
Then, quite importantly, you don’t even have to worry about remembering the specific folder where you placed your documents in your IQTELL Virtual Workspace. Simply use the built-in Quick Searches, which are full-text searches (like those used by search engines) and within seconds, IQTELL will show you the folder where the document of interest is located. All you have to do then is double-click to open it. It’s as simple as it reads!
Example: Quickly find the principal terms of your car lease to make sure the dealership is not charging you for wear-and-tear damage that is covered in the lease.
The documents within your IQTELL Virtual Workspace are not just files that you have uploaded – there is much more you can do to effectively manage the use of your documents and your Workspace.
For each of the entries in your “Documents” folder, you can add and specify useful information, like relevant dates. For example, you can add issuance dates, due dates for bills, review dates, and renewal dates for policies and warranties. You may also want to keep track of related people for a given document, like referencing Michelle in the “Michelle’s automobile insurance application” document.
You can also define automatic Reminders and follow-up related to any desired document, so your documents will remember you even if you’ve forgotten them.
For example, set a reminder to automatically notify you one month in advance of an expiring warranty or automobile insurance policy.
When you receive a Notification as a result of any such reminders, that email will include a hyperlink to the specific document within your Workspace. All you have to do is click on it, and you’ll be taken directly to that document. This way, you’ll see what the document is all about and be able to take action accordingly.
Did you receive an email or a phone call that requires you to create a new document? Simply create a corresponding entry in the “Documents” folder in your IQ Workspace directly from the Email, Task or Conversation.
By linking documents to other entries in your workspace, you can easily find important, related information for each.
Sound familiar? You log on to your computer at work, and you’re looking for the bookmark you created for that great site. What was it? Can’t find this bookmark? And then you realize that you created this bookmark on your computer at home!
You’re at work? At home? At a friend’s house? On a business trip? On vacation? Not a problem, that is, provided that you’re an IQTELL user!
“Bookmarks” is just another folder in your IQTELL Virtual Workspace. Using IQTELL, each bookmark is an entry in your “Bookmarks” folder in your own Workspace where you keep track not only of the website’s URL, but also of all other information that may be important to you.
Access your bookmarks from any computer, using any browser, as they are available to you whenever you log into your IQTELL account.
Example: While at work, a coworker recommends a few useful websites. Great! Just enter these into your IQTELL “Bookmarks” folder. Then, when you have time, at home or elsewhere, explore and evaluate whether these websites indeed fit your needs.
Browser-based bookmarks are typically quite limited, allowing you to basically enter the “Name” and “URL” of the corresponding website. To that we’d to quote Bob Dylan and say, “The Times They Are a-Changin’.”
With IQTELL, you can add any useful information for each of your bookmarks. For example, you can add a quick description, specify a category of the site (such as news, sports shopping, games, finances, research, and blogs), enter a meaningful description of what the site is, identify pros and cons, and “score” the site to help rank your bookmarks.
Organize your bookmarks by creating sub-folders for each of your topics of interest.
Furthermore, for your convenience, IQTELL allows you to save multiple references into a single entry in your “Bookmarks” folder. For example, having bookmarked the home page of a favorite site, you can conveniently add related bookmarks for useful sub-pages within this very site.
Example: You created an entry in your “Bookmarks” folder for www.alot.com and added several references to that same bookmark – IQTELL also provides you the flexibility to label each of these to be even more meaningful to you, like “Home Page”, “News”, “Sports” and “Games”, which are individual web pages within this site. And so, while this entry is an effective placeholder for www.alot.com, providing an overall description for this website, this entry also becomes a convenient “jumping board” for all the related webpages within this site.
Finding any desired website within your “Bookmarks” folder is a breeze.
All you have to do is enter a keyword or a phrase and perform a Quick Search in your Workspace. Click open any desired matching entry to see all the information you are looking for.
Click on the embedded hyperlink (this is the URL, which is stored in each of your bookmark entries), and IQTELL will automatically launch your browser and bring you to this website.
You also want to take advantage of past experiences, whether they’re good or bad. Use your “Bookmarks” folder to keep track and score your various websites.
You can also flag certain sites as “to be avoided”. In other words, flag sites which may come up in a web search, but that you have already explored them and determined as being “unwanted”.
Help yourself when you perform online shopping. Manage your frequently shopped sites by keeping track of your experiences. Describe the site’s customer support and how quickly items were delivered. Categorize each site by what types of products it sells, such as electronics, clothing, sporting goods, or toys.
Rank your favorite sites based on products you purchased, reliability, interest, past experience, and any other criteria.
Example: If you have 10 bookmarks about fantasy football, you can rank them according to expert analysis, previous successful predictions, and variety of content. The sites you rank the highest will be the ones you rely the most on, and you’ll know to be more skeptical of the ones you rank the lowest.
Example: When you have a research project, you can create a single bookmark to include all of the websites and webpages that provide information to help you with your project. Or, have the freedom to create a new sub-folder in your “Bookmarks” folder dedicated specifically to this project. IQTELL gives you the flexibility to do whatever you need to simplify your life.
For sites where you have a login account, don’t just bookmark the login page, but also save your login ID and password. And of course, this sensitive information will be encrypted, so that only you can view it when you are ready to log in to those sites.
Eliminate the frustration of having to memorize numerous login IDs and passwords, or being locked out because you exceeded the number of failed log in attempts.
For certain sites, you may also want to enter relevant contact information so you have it when you need to contact the site for customer support for tracking online orders, or for help resetting your password. Keep track of phone numbers, email addresses, and whatever information, which can assist in connecting you directly with a live person and get best results.
You have websites for your utilities and service providers, online shopping sites, online banking and Bill Pay, credit card accounts, and much more!
How do you keep track of account information, login information, and how to access customer support for each of these accounts today?
Where do you currently save all these pieces of information? In your secret “black book”? Where is it? And what happens should you lose it?
Have you ever tried to log in to your online account, just to realize you can’t remember your username or password? It’s quite frustrating. After you make several attempts, you find out your account has been blocked because you had too many failed login attempts.
Maintain all your account information in your secured IQTELL Workspace. Your sensitive information is encrypted and securely saved on the IQTELL servers. Access your accounts information from any computer, and fetch whatever you need.
All sensitive information, like user ID and password are shown as “masked” characters ******. You can “unmask” to view the actual information when you know that no one is around you – when it is safe to do so.
Organize your accounts by account category and keep track of how you receive your statements (paper, electronic, or both). Link related Contacts to each account so you know who you’ve dealt with in the past.
For each of your accounts, use IQTELL to maintain customer support contact information – the toll-free number to call, the options to select when you get the automated response, and your telephone PIN.
You call customer support, and finally, you’re able to talk to a live person. Great! But now you need to provide your account information, your password, and possibly even answer some security questions. Just open the corresponding entry in your “Accounts” folder and find all the information you need.
Finding the entry you’re looking for? Just enter a phrase, like “My VISA” in the Quick Search box, and press the “Enter” key. The matching entry will be displayed instantly.
Hope this never happens to you. But if it did and you need to call and report your lost credit cards, then what?
Having all the important contact and account information in your IQTELL Workspace is your answer. All you have to do is find any computer near you, log into your IQTELL account, and start making those phone calls.
With IQTELL, you know where to call, and you are able to provide all the necessary information.
Your credit cards will be blocked immediately!
So, you found the corresponding entry in your “Bookmarks” folder and you need to log into that website. This is quite simple, since every entry in your “Bookmarks” has a URL for the main website, and a URL, which will take you directly to the “login page”.
Just click on the “Login” hyperlink and IQTELL will automatically launch your browser and take you to the login page.
Remember, you can your “Accounts” folder to “remember” your user ID and password as well. These will be stored as encrypted characters, displayed as ******. You can “unmask” to view the actual information when you know that no one is around you – when it is safe to do so.
Organize your utility accounts in your IQTELL Workspace. Maintain important information, such as account number, customer support information, and your usual method of payment.
Link and document important Conversations to the corresponding service providers. Keep track of disputes, resolutions, and dates.
Also, link your utility accounts to specific properties so you know which accounts are related to your own home and your rental properties.
Example: Choose your payment method for your utility bills based on the due date, when your money is available, and how quickly each method delivers the payment.
Manage your various checking, savings, and other money accounts. Keep track of vital information, such as account number, routing number, online login credentials, and save specific branch and customer support information. You may also want to record the interest rates you are getting in each account so you can effectively manage your money.
Example:After receiving a bonus from work, you can quickly decide which account to deposit the money into based on the best interest rate offered.
Need to use your credit card, but don’t have it on hand? Add and encrypt your important credit card information in your secure IQ Workspace. Include useful information such as the card number, expiration date, and security code so you don’t have to search for the card when shopping online.
Link your various credit card entries to their corresponding bank institutes in your IQ Workspace so you have immediate access to customer and technical support contact information.
Monitor and track annual fees and renewal dates for your cards. You may get better offers with no annual fees. Having all the pertinent information in your IQ Workspace can help you make informed decisions.
Example: Hopefully this never happens to you, but in case you lost your wallet or cannot find certain credit cards, simply access all the necessary card information in your IQ Workspace and report the loss without further delays.
Don’t lose sight of orders you placed and are expecting shipments.
For every order, enter the expected delivery date and set a Reminder. That way, IQTELL will automatically send you an email or a text message Notification when the order is supposed to be delivered.
Thus avoiding situations where orders were not delivered to you and you were too busy to remember and follow up. (Situations like these can happen for multiple reasons, like your order being delivered to the wrong address.)
With IQTELL, you can easily track what was ordered, what was delivered, and what was not. Mark completed orders as “done”.
Keep records of all of your online purchases that you want to track – use your “Orders” folder to enter what you purchased. Enter all the important information, like order date, place of order, what you purchased, prices, and expected delivery dates.
You want to simplify life? Just attach the order confirmations to the corresponding entries in your “Orders” folder, and link all email confirmations, delivery notifications, and receipts to your orders.
And, quite importantly, keep track of your experiences with the various places you shop, so you can leverage your experience on future shopping.
Place your favorite shopping sites into categories and quickly find these sites whenever you need them.
Keep track of your satisfaction with the products ordered and the service.
You were satisfied with products you have ordered once and have entered these in your “Orders” folder? Great! Use these orders as a “jumping board” when you are ready to reorder the same or similar products.
Researching stores and online website for a specific need you have, like, outdoor furniture? Create entries for these possible stores and website and include all pertinent information, such as model numbers, prices, delivery charges, and return policies. Make an informed decision and place your order!
Record all correspondence applicable to your orders like Emails and Conversations with customer support. Keeping track and following-up are quite useful when you’re inquiring about an undelivered order, when you’re returning merchandise to the store, and when you’re expecting a replacement.
Keep yourself protected by saving all of the pertinent information about a purchase to your IQ Workspace in case of a dispute.
Not an easy task, especially when your supporting documents (income and expenses) are all over the place. These documents would be related to property taxes, medical expenses, rental income, commissions, bank statements, donations, and college tuitions.
Use your cloud based IQTELL Workspace to upload and organize all these supporting documents in your IQTELL Workspace, so that you always have what you need. Be ready for filing your tax return in an organized fashion!
Also keep track of all your invoices, payments, and deductibles such as receipts for all your donations to Goodwill, your alumni association, and any other charitable causes.
Having all the supporting documents in place will help you to efficiently file your tax return, and quite importantly, be ready in case you are being audited.
Do you own some rental properties? Keep track of rent payments you receive and expenses you pay, like association fees, property taxes, repairs, and brokerage fees.
Using IQTELL can also assist you in managing your monthly budget.
Keep track of your income and regular expenses so you know just how much you can save each month. Keep track of a typical month budget by recording information about your rent or mortgage, utilities, insurance premiums, and credit card payments. Easily upload your electronic bills, or scan your paper bills into your IQ Workspace so you can search for them later.
You can easily manage your irregular monthly expenses – those expenses that fluctuate from month to month – like groceries, gasoline, and entertainment expenses. Scan your receipts and add them to your IQ Workspace so you can quickly reference them later. Examine your spending trends and plan for these irregular expenses.
Example: Over the last three months, you have spent an average of $350 a month at grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants. When looking at next month’s budget, you can realistically count on spending this amount on food again.
Organize your secondary sources of income to help you set your budget and for tax purposes. Monitor your interest from your savings accounts and catalog your other income from rental properties, tutoring, and other services you may be providing.
Use IQTELL to link all other relevant entries in your workspace, like bank statements, Emails and phone Conversations, and payment receipts to your “Income and Expenses” folder.
Example: On weekends, Betty and Carl auction off antiques and collectibles, which they treat as a “secondary business”. They would use their “Income and Expenses” folder to keep track of these earnings.
Document and monitor any unexpected expenses you may encounter like car repairs, flood damage, computer viruses, or theft. Help prepare next month’s budget by examining last month’s unexpected expenses.
Example: Reduce the money you spend on non-necessities next month to make up for the added expense of replacing your lawnmower this month.
Does this sound familiar?
You had phone calls with your contractors, people at work, your real estate broker, or your travel agent. You met with your project team, with your tenant, your advisor, or your insurance broker. You had a discussion and reached an understanding, and discussed next steps. Document it!
“If it wasn’t documented, it’s only a rumor…”
Keeping track of important phone calls and meetings is just one more reason why your cloud based IQTELL Workspace will be so helpful to you.
Document your important phone calls and meetings. Dates, participants, topics, agreements reached, and next steps.
That way, in cases of disputes, you can easily retrieve all relevant information and resolve any misunderstandings.
Example: You get billed for premium channels from your cable company that you had cancelled, and you need to call customer support and complain about it. Simply perform a Quick Search of in your IQTELL Workspace to locate your documented conversation on this issue. Quite importantly, you have recorded the date and time of the call, the representative you spoke with, a quick description of what took place during this call, as well as the confirmation number you received. On this follow-up call you have all this important information in front of you. In an instant, you have greatly increased your chances to settle this incident and get the refund you deserve.
Along with documenting all your important conversations and meetings, use IQTELL’s built-in ability to link relevant entries throughout your IQTELL Workspace together. An example of such links would be entries in the “Phone Calls & Meetings” folder and corresponding Tasks.
Getting ready for a follow-up phone call or a meeting? Quickly search and find all the pertinent information from your Workspace so you have it all in front you. No need to memorize, guess, or speculate. It’s all there in front of you.
Whether your next correspondence is personal, household, or work-related, you will be well prepared, which is the key to success. Not to mention, you’ve also simplified your life!
After you make a phone call where a “next step” is required, simply describe what this next step is and enter the date it is expected to take place.
In case such next step is your responsibility, create a new Task describing what needs be done, and if needed, define a due date and a Reminder. (IQTELL provides built-in reminder functionality.
If you expect the other party to take action, describe what that action is and set up a date and corresponding reminder as to when you expect to hear back from them
If it is you who needs to take action as a result of this phone call or meeting,
Example: You call technical support for your computer because you have encountered a problem. During your first conversation, you are told to purchase some software, try it for a week, and then call back in case the problem is not solved – action in your court, and you will probably call them back in case the problem is not yet resolved.
While documenting your important phone calls and meetings, use the opportunity to update existing contacts as well as create new entries in your Contacts folder within your IQTELL Workspace.
Next steps and follow-up may often expose additional information, such as new phone numbers and email addresses. This is a great opportunity to build up your IQTELL-based address book – your “Contacts” folder.
“What should I buy Mary for her birthday?”
“What did I buy Rob last year for Christmas?”
“What did Susan buy me for my wedding anniversary?”
Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
Not being able to answer these questions leads to headaches, wrong choices, and ultimately to disappointments and embarrassments. This can be easily avoided!

Log all interesting and relevant information about your trip so that you can make recommendations to your friends, and, maximize your time to explore these sites yourself.
Example: Last year, you stayed at a certain place in Rome. While planning another trip to this area, you may consider staying at the same hotel, and even plan to dine in some of the same restaurants.
