Business Meeting Notebook for iPad

The Business Meeting Notebook for iPad is an iPad meeting notes template with 200 pages, one meeting each. Every page has the same fields in the same place, so weekly one-on-ones, client calls and team standups all come out in a shape you can scan later.

The file opens on its cover. Tap Go to index and you land on a list of 200 meetings with Date and Topic columns you fill in. Tap a row and you’re on that meeting’s page. The bar at the top of every page takes you back to the index.

Rabia painted the cover by hand, as she does for every mildspring product.

Works with five iPad apps

Before listing our iPad notebooks, we loaded them onto an iPad and tapped through them in five apps. The index rows, the arrows and the links back all landed on the right page in each one. A few apps ask a question on import, so here’s what to pick.

• Goodnotes: import it as a new notebook. Links work while the pen is selected. The free plan holds three notebooks, and this one counts toward them.
• Notability: import it as a new note and leave Add space on None. The app’s toolbar floats over the top of the page, so scroll down a little to reach the bar.
• Noteshelf: after a link jump, its Return to Page button takes you back to where you were.
• CollaNote: when it asks whether to add space to write, pick None so the pages keep their size.
• Apple Books: already on your iPad, and handy for reading back through a finished notebook.

Sized for iPad not stretched

We drew this notebook at three page sizes, one for each iPad screen shape. The 11 inch file is 158 by 227 mm for the 11 inch iPad, iPad Air and iPad Pro. The 13 inch file is 197 by 263 mm for the 13 inch iPad Air and iPad Pro. The mini file is 118 by 180 mm.

You pick your iPad at checkout and get the file drawn for that screen. There are no blank bands at the top or bottom, and the side margins stay even. Each file is about 3 MB.

What is inside the iPad meeting notes template

• 200 meeting pages, one meeting each.
• A linked index with Date and Topic columns.
• Header fields: Topic, Date, Time, Attendees and Location.
• A lined Notes area for the discussion.
• An action panel with Task, In Charge and Due columns.
• A link bar on every meeting page back to the index.

How it works

It’s one hyperlinked PDF. There’s no extra app to install and nothing to sync. Download it on your iPad, open it from Files and import it into your notes app as a new notebook. Once it’s in, the links work offline.

Fill the Date and Topic on the index as each meeting starts. Before the next one, a glance down the index finds last week’s page, and its action panel shows what was promised and by whom.

The same notebook is drawn for other tablets too, so there are Supernote, Kindle Scribe, reMarkable and Quaderno versions, each cut to that screen.
