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
- 10 -
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?
