- Memo Options: Activity File
-
- Each Client record has one Client memo associated with it. Each activity ì
- record now has one Activity memo also.
-
- Why two sets of memos? Prior to version 2.645, this program had only ì
- Client memos, not any activity memos. All activity records shared one ì
- common Client memo and could access that one memo from any activity record ì
- created in the future. Let's say, for example, you established a Client ì
- record for "XYZ Corporation" and then imported a 10,000 character proposal ì
- into the Client memo for "XYZ Corporation". Later on, as you created many ì
- activity records for "XYZ Corporation", you could view the large proposal ì
- that you had originally imported into the Client memo from ANY activity ì
- that you had created for "XYZ Corporation".
-
- Conceptually, it made sense for ALL activities to share the SAME memo in ì
- the Client file. However, the emergence of a new feature, Quick Memo [TM], ì
- mandated that each activity record have its own memo also. See below for ì
- an explanation of Quick Memo [TM].
-
-
- Memo options accessible from the Activity File:
-
- Froφá thσá Activit∙á Filσ yo⌡ caε acces≤ tw∩ memo≤ fo≥ an∙á onσá activit∙ ì

- regardles≤ oµ ho≈ man∙ activitie≤ an∙ onσ compan∙ has.
-
-
- ----- Activity File: Add option -----
-
- Every time you add a record in the Add option, you will see these options ì
- available to you on the bottom of the screen:
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Enter "1" to ignore this entry; enter F2 for Activity Memo |
- F3 for Quick Label [TM] |
- F4 for Client Memo, F7 for proposal\invoice, any other key to continue |
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- If you enter 'F2', you will branch to the unique memo for this activity. ì
- If you enter 'F4', you will branch to the Client Memo that ALL activities ì
- for this company share in common. The Memo Options Menu looks that same ì
- for both. If you look close, after you enter 'F2', you will see this on ì
- the bottom of the Memo Options Menu:
-
- R) Return to Activity record
-
-
-
- If you enter 'F4', you will see this Return statement on the bottom of the ì
- Memo Options Menu:
-
- è R) Return to Client record
-
- If you are not sure whether you are in the Client or Activity memo, the ì
- Return statement on the bottom of the Memo Options Menu will tell you.
-
-
-
- ----- Activity File: Get option -----
-
- Your access to memos at the Add option is similar to the Get screen. Once ì
- you enter the Get option from the Activity File, you will see these commnds ì
- on the bottom of your screen:
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ENTER N FOR NEXT, P FOR PREVIOUS F2 Activity Memo |
- RETURN Exit S FOR SEARCH, M FOR MORE COMMANDS F4 Client Memo |
- F3 Quick Label [TM] F7 Proposal/Inv F8 DIAL PHONE F9 HANG UP PHONE |
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Again, as in the activity Add option, entering 'F2' will take you to the ì
- memo unique to this activity, while selecting 'F4' will bring up the one ì
- Client memo common to all activities for this company.
-
-
-
- Quick Memo [TM]
- Automatic generation of memo 'Templates'
-
- Quick Memo [TM] will create a customized 'template', a letter that has 80% ì
- of the text already filled in for you!
-
-
- Quick Memo [TM] is a powerful word processor type feature that will save ì
- you time if you need to send out short messages, say 1 to 4 sentences per ì
- person, but don't have the time to enter all of the other data that this ì
- type of correspondence requires.
-
- Quick Memo [TM] can be used in the Client file, but its real application is ì
- in creating multiple activity memos.
-
- Referring again to the Memo Option Menu below:

- ==========================================================
- [Current character length of this memo = 0]
-
-
- Once you select option 8, Quick Memo [TM] will check first to see if you ì
- have given some general definitions about you and your company. If not, ì
- then Quick Memo [TM] will ask you for your company name, address, and so ì
- on«á Thesσá samσá item≤á arσ useΣ iε thσá Proposal/Invoicσá generato≥á anΣ ì
- Statement≤ section¼ anΣ caε bσ defineΣ o≥ redefineΣ there.
-
- In any case, after you have selected option 8, Quick Memo [TM] will create ì
- a 'Template' for you as though you had gone to option 1 and typed it in.
-
-
- The 'Template' contains these four sections:
-
- Information about your company, centered
- The date of the 'template', expanded
- The addressee data, leftmost justified
- Filing instructions, on the bottom line of the 'template'
-
-
- Once Quick Memo [TM] has created the 'template' you can add your specific ì
- lines of text by entering option 1,
-
- 1) Edit the existing memo or create a new one
-
- As you scroll through the memo, you will observe that Quick Memo [TM] has ì
- typed in most of the information that you need, except for the body of the ì
- letter or memo. Once you have typed that in yourself, you would save it ì
- with CONTROL-W, and then print it out with option 7:
-
- 7) Print options [Printit v3.5 [TM]]
-
-
-
- An example of one 'template' appears on the next page:
