I have made a template that fits six post-it squares. I first took this template and printed it on different colors to represent the different content areas (2 of each color). Blue - Math, Pink - Reading, Green - Writing, Yellow - Social/ Emotional, etc.. I laminated the color sheets back to back allowing for 12 post it notes. I use matching post it notes to the color of the board. This allows me to quickly know what the conference is about at glance. I set up the boards knowing these twelve kids are my priority to conference with. After the conference I move the post it to a binder that is divided into sections for each student.
What I like about this method is that it is easy to see who I need to conference with and I only need to move around the room with the board rather than a big binder.
You need to play around with it so you can use it to it's fullest potential. Some of the things that I love about it. I feel that I'm able to conference with more students in a given period because I don't have to type or write out all the notes. I have previously entered teaching points, strengths and possible next steps into the app. I also love that you can group your students based on any of your notes. This has helped me keep my groups current and effective.
