8 Structure of the Records
8.1 General relationships among modules

To group tasks, Pomegranate supports up to 3 levels of parents. Goals, Courses and Department.
8.2 Examples. Fields. Definitions of typical types.
Certain fields are common to all modules: * Summary * Description * Priority * Status * Type * Department * Course * Bookmark * Date created and last updated * Who entered it, last updated it * Tags
One of the goals of a system is show us our progress in quantitative ways and in real time.
Explanation of each journal, planner, goal type

Any module record can have multiple tags A comment can be added to any module record.
8.3 Arbitrary relationships
In addition to the relationships among the different modules set by the data model structure, one can link any two records from any module by ad hoc relationships. The relationship has a parametric type.
If you link A to B, then when you see B, you will see it linked in reverse order to A. For example if A is a prerequisite for B, then B follows after A. You need to defines the name of the reverse relationship in the paramters too.
Each module has a one-letter code, e.g. G for goals, and a color code e.g. dark green for goals. You can see the letter and color codes from accordion in the west region.
Often the module code is the first letter of the module name
G (goals), T (tasks), C (notes, historically index ‘'’c’'’ards), W (writings), …
