For the most part I do not use Realm Works right now. My GM style is very 'open world', meaning I don't know or care what the players do or how they accomplish the mission. Mr. J hires them to do 'X' and I leave it to them to do it. Sometimes they go in hard (bullets a flying) and sometimes they go in soft (sneaky).
Most of what I was using realm works for was after action notes. They meet a contact named X, who was this and that. If the players never saw or spoke to this contact ever again, it just cost me 5 minutes of data input but if they do use the person again, I have some basic notes. Also, many contacts end up dead after talking to them (I play in a dark world and allow the characters to be 'bad' so long as they can get along with other members of the party).
