- {ROLO}
- Address Book
- ASAP!'s Address Book can be a replacement for the old Rolodex
- (R) cards just about everyone is familiar with. In your Address Book,
- you can store your personal and business contact's names, addresses,
- telephone numbers and free-form textual information. The Address Book
- has powerful features that allow you to find the information you need
- quickly, such as multi-field searching, full-text searching, sorting and
- filtering.
-
- In addition to your own personal Address Book, ASAP! allows your
- Systems Administrator to create "Group" Address Books. Group Address
- Books are just like your personal Address Book, except they are designed
- to be shared by multiple people at the same time. For example, you may
- have a Firm Address Book that contains the names, addresses and telephone
- numbers of everyone in your office.
-
- When selected, you are presented with the first "card" in your Address
- Book. To view a different card, use the PageUp or PageDown keys or

- List Select this button if you'd like to view your Address Book
- data in a tabular, or list format. When selected, a listbox
- window displays, where you can use the Up and Down arrow keys
- to quickly move through the entries in your Address Book.
-
- Find Choose this button to locate a particular card in your Address
- Book. When selected, the Find dialogue displays, where you can
- type in text you want to locate.
-
- Two types of searches are available from the displayed
- dialogue: Indexed and Full-Text.
-
- An indexed search is the faster of the two, since it uses the
- current open index file to locate the specified text. If you
- are currently sorted by Last Name, the Last Name index is
- searched. If you are sorted by Company, the Company index is
- searched.
-
- Full-Text searching starts at the current card location, and
- checks each card for any instance of the specified text. It
- does not matter which field the information is located, even
- the free-form textual notes.
-
- Notes Each of your Address Book entries can contain a free-form text
- note, where you can type anything you like. When selected,
- an editor windows displays any current text, where you can make
- any desired changes.

- entry. You are prompted with a Yes/No confirmation dialogue
- when selected.
-

-
- Note that when you choose to delete an Address Book entry, the
- record is merely marked for deletion, and the Status field
- is updated to denote the record status. The record is
- physically removed when your Systems Administrator runs the
- Pack Desktop routine.
-
- You can recall a deleted entry by choosing the Delete button
- while a deleted entry displays. However, once your Systems
- Administrator runs the Pack Desktop routine, the entry is
- deleted forever from the file.
-
- Edit Choose this button to make changes to the currently displayed
- entry. When selected, you are placed in the first editing
- field, where you can type your changes. Note that while

-

- Filter Dialogue displays.

- books. To select a new Address Book, simply select it from

- ClipBrd your Clipboard, in mailing label format. You can then use
- "paste" key to insert the text of your clipboard into other
- programs, such as WordPerfect or Lotus 123.
-
- To paste your clipboard data into another program, press the
- <Ctrl>+<Left Shift>+<Del> keys simultaneously. You must be
- running ASAP! as a resident, or TSR program for this to occur.
-
- Sort To re-order ASAP!'s Address Book, choose this option.
- You are presented with a menu of available sort fields. Choose
- the desired sort field, and your Address Book will be ordered
- based on your selection. Any Find command using the current

-
- {ROLOFIND}
- Search Address Book
- Use ASAP!'s Find Button to quickly locate a particular record
- in your Address Book file.
-
- When selected you are presented with a data entry box, where you can

- Your Address Book always uses an open index file to quickly sort and
- search records. This index is ordered in your choice of sort orders,
- such as Last Name, First Name, Company, etc.
-
- When you perform a search using the Current Index, you are telling
- ASAP! to search the index when locating a record. Therefore, if
- your Address Book is currently sorted by Last Name, the Last Name index
- will be searched for the text you type in the Find Dialogue.
-
- To choose a different index to search, change your Sort Order by pressing
- the <Alt>+<S> keys while viewing your Address Book data, or by choosing
- the appropriate option from the Options menu.

- If you do not want to search the current open index for information in
- your Address Book, you can tell ASAP! to perform a "Full Text"
- search by selecting this option.
-
- A Full Text search differs from an indexed search in that it browses the
- data in your Address Book sequentially. When a Full Text search is
- performed, ASAP! goes up to the top of the data, looks at each
- record in the database, then searches all fields in the record for the
- text you supply in the search field. Since the open index is not used
- to locate the text, the text for which you are searching can be located
- in any field.
-
- Although significantly slower than indexed searching, Full Text searching
- can be useful to locate information typed in the Notes field, or in
- fields that cannot be used as a primary sort criteria.
