- 6. Address Book
-
- 6.1 Add
-
- Selecting Add creates new address book entries. The user is
- queried for the name, address and phone number. Next, the
- comment options are presented. The user can select one or
- several canned comments, add a personal comment, or choose
- none. The entry is finished by choosing No Comment. The
- user is finally asked to accept or reject the entry.
-
- 6.2 Canned Comment
-
- This choice allows the user to define his own set of
- predefined comments which are assigned a letter value of A
- thru Y, a maximum of 25. Typical examples of a canned
- comment are relative, friend, client, male or female. Not
- so typical, but useful, are blonde, blue eyed, well
- mannered, left handed, and unmarried. Use your imagination
- to create your own personalized database. The canned
- comments can be edited or deleted. Deleting a canned
- comment, will delete its presence in all address book
- records that contain it.
-
- 6.3 Delete
-
- Delete allows the user to delete an address book record.
- The user is prompted for a first, middle (optional), and
- last name to find the entry. Do not create entries that are
- identical in all three names. Deletion will find only the
- first record that matches. Usually this is no hardship
- since it is rare that two people have all three identical
- names.
-
- 6.4 Edit
-
- The edit selection allows the user to modify any or all
- fields in an address book entry. The user is queried for
- the first, middle (optional) and last names to find the
- entry. The entry is displayed with letters a thru k as
- prefixes to the fields. Choose the appropriate field to
- edit and continue until all desired fields have been
- modified. The same comment made above for entries with the
- same name applies to the edit function, also.
-
- 6.5 Search
-
- The search feature is the purpose of the address book. It
- allows the user to select only the subset of entries that
- are defined by the search criteria. The user is presented
- with a blank template of an entry. Choose as many or all of
-

-
- the fields to define a search criteria. Once chosen, the
- database is searched for all records that exactly match the
- selected criteria. The user has a choice of four outputs, a
- screen display, a printed report containing all fields in
- the entries, a 3 line mailing label or you may have PMIS
- selectively dial the phone numbers found, via your modem, if
- one is equipped.
-
- When looking for one person's phone number, just enter their
- name. When looking for a date, you might want to choose a
- redhead, blue eyed, unmarried, and male or female. Get the
- idea?
