ADD Data lets you add new records to CARDFILE files. It can only be used to add
NEW records, NOT to update or browse EXISTING ones. Refer to UPDATE Data for
modifying and browsing existing records.
To use the ADD Data option:
1. Press <A> from the CARDFILE MAIN MENU. If a data file has been selected,
the screen will clear and a blank data entry screen will be displayed.
If a file has NOT been selected, a "no file selected" message will be
displayed.
2. Enter available information, using the following keys to aid data entry:
<DEL> - Delete current field entry.
<END> - Move cursor to bottom of screen: first COMMENTS field.
<HOME> - Move cursor to top of screen: COMPANY field.
<TAB> - Move cursor to next field.
<BACKTAB> - Move cursor back one field.
<RETURN> - Move cursor to next field.
< -> > - Move cursor to next field.
< <- > - Move cursor back one field.
<BACKSPACE> - Delete character that cursor is positioned under.
NOTE: This change is not displayed on the screen until
<F2> is pressed.
CARDFILE uses Quick Keys to position the cursor at a specific field with a
minimum number of keystrokes. These Quick Keys are:
<CTRL>+<F1> - COMPANY
<CTRL>+<F2> - ID CODE
<CTRL>+<F3> - ADDRESS1
<CTRL>+<F4> - ADDRESS2
<CTRL>+<F5> - CITY
<CTRL>+<F6> - STATE
<CTRL>+<F7> - ZIP CODE
<CTRL>+<F8> - PHONE Area code
<CTRL>+<F9> - CONTACT
<CTRL>+<F10> - COMMENTS line # 1
3. Press the appropriate function key when ready. These are:
<F2> - Refresh current screen entry.
<F3> - Quit and return to Main Menu. Do not save current screen entry.
<F4> - Clear screen. Do NOT save current screen entry. Clear any fields
marked by <F9>.
<F7> - Save current screen entry and clear screen for next entry. Leave
fields marked by <F9>.
<F8> - Save current screen entry and return to Main Menu.
<F9> - Mark or unmark field to duplicate when current record saved and new
empty screen displayed.
<ALT>+<F9> - Print mailing label for record currently displayed.
