List Features
Main View
List also supports the system find silk screen button. A system find will search all
List databases, and all other application databases on you Palm device. The local find
is limited to the current database. Local finds can locate sub-strings in your text,
this is handy if you can't remember the whole word you are searching for. For example:
a record with the word "Pilot" in it would be found by searching for "ilot".
Record View
By selecting the category "All" the records in category number will be the total number
of records in the List database. The hardware up button will move to the previous
record if you are at the top of the current record's view, similarly the hardware down
button will move to the next record if you are at the bottom. Notice that there are
two ways to edit the record, they are equivalent, this is the same behaviour that the
Address book application has.
Editing
The first two fields have a limit of 120 characters, the note field has a limit of 4k.
If you are editing large notes (more than 11 lines) you have to drag-scroll the text to
see it all (tap & hold the pen on the text, drag it to beyond the bottom of the text until
it scrolls to the desired location). The next field, previous field keystrokes will move
between fields (just like the Address book).
Customization Dialog
Here you can change the name of the current List database, and define the two custom
field labels. The display order is how the main view will display the records, this
affects the sort order as well. The local options are per database, the write
protect disables editing of the List database and the backup next hot-sync allows you to manually
toggle the backup flag. The global options are for all List databases, the
automate backup causes List to flip the backup flag for you whenever you edit and the
select database on launch defines
the behaviour of List when started from the application manager.
