<H3>Getting Started with ListPro</H3>
ListPro lets you create list files, containing as many lists as
you want. Each list can contain as many items as you want. Optionally,
you can organize your lists within any file into folders too. Each
list in any file can have fields appropriate to that list.
<p>
To <a href="file:lp_editlist.htp">create a list</a>, select <b>New List</b> under
the <b>File</b> menu. You can also create folders of lists so you can group related
lists together in a folder. To create a folder, select <b>New Folder</b> under the
<b>File</b> menu.
You can create any number of lists in any ListPro file, and create any number
of ListPro files. Use the <b>New File</b> pick to create new ListPro files.
Organize your lists into files in ways that make sense to you. Lists in the
same file do <b><i>not</i></b> have to have the same structure.
<p>
Give your new list a
name and choose which options you want and which columns you want to be displayed.
You can change the
list's properties at any time by selecting the list and picking <b>Properties</b> from the
<b>File</b> menu (or use the Properties button or double-tap the list's name).
<p>
Note that even though you may choose not to display a column, it will still be available
for items in a list. For example, you may not display Notes in your list,
but you could see a note for an item by double-tapping that item or by displaying the
Notes Pane. You can change which
columns are displayed in your lists at any time, without losing the information
in any fields not displayed.
<p>
Once you've created a list, select <b>Add Items to List</b> from the <b>Edit</b> menu
(or use the Add Items command bar button)
to <a href="file:lp_additem.htp">
add one or more items</a> to the list.
<p>
You can use <b>Desktop ListPro</b> to
create and edit list files on your desktop.
You can also create list items and
<a href="file:lp_imp.htp">Import</a> them to a ListPro list, or
<a href="file:lp_imp.htp">Export</a> your list to another file,
for printing or giving to someone else.
<p>
To sort a list, tap the column header of the column you want to sort by.
To change the order of the items on the list without sorting, use
the arrow buttons in the command bar or select one of the
<b>Move Item</b> picks from the <b>Edit</b> menu.
Note that these are only available when a list is <b><i>not</b></i> sorted, and
all items are showing. (See <a href="file:lp_edititem.htp">Editing List Items</a>
for more information.)
You can also move list items with cut and paste.
<p>
To check an item in a list, tap its <b>Check</b> icon. To flag an item to be included
in a <a href="file:lp_twostep.htp">Shopping (or Two-Step) list</a>, tap its <b>Flag</b> icon.
You can optionally set up your list to prompt you for an amount value
when you tap either of these columns.
<p>
When you've completed a list, clear all the checks by selecting
<b>Reset List</b> from the <b>Edit</b> menu. Both checks and flags will
be cleared from any items which have been checked. Flagged items which
have not been checked will not be cleared. Optionally, you can set up
your list to also clear amounts when a list is reset.
<p>
See
<a href="file:lp_opts.htp">Working with Lists</a> to see how to customize
your list views.
