- Overview:
-
- Whenever you enter a new record in the Client file, you will observe that ì
- you can enter a first name as well as a 'salutation.' By default during ì
- data entry, the 'salutation' is the first name, though you can enter ì
- anything you wish into this field. You could, for example, enter 'William' ì
- for first name and 'Bill' into the salutation field.
-
-
- First appearance of the 'salutation' field:
-
- The 'salutation' field appears whenever you output data from this program ì
- into a word processor using selection B on the Main Program Menu:
-
- "B) Import or Output data"
-
- Let's say that you have created a 'boilerplate' text in a word processor ì
- and wish to use its MailMerge[TM]-style facilities. The ability in this ì
- program to distinguish between formal first names, such as 'Edward,' and ì
- the actual manner in which the person is addressed, such as 'Ed,' will make ì
- your 'boilerplate' text read better and be more believable.
-
-
- Second appearance of the 'salutation' field:
-
- Whenever you use the Quick Memo [TM] feature in either a Client or Activity ì
- record, the program will examine the salutation and the first name. If ì
- different, then the salutation is placed into the Quick Memo [TM] in this ì
- form, based on your selection in "Establish or update system-wide values ì
- for your company:"
-
-
- ===========================================================================
- Let's say the person's name is JOHN DOE. |
- Your choices are: |
- |
- 1 = 'Dear John:'
- 2= 'Dear Mr. Doe:
- 3= 'Dear Mr. John Doe:'
- 4= 'John:'
- 5= '' <============= left blank |
- |
- |
- ===========================================================================
-
-
- If you wish to use the true first name without bringing the salutation into ì
- the Quick Memo [TM], then observe this fourth option in the 'system-wide ì
- values:"
-
-
- ===========================================================================
- Inclusion/Omission of 'Salutation' field: |
- |
- If turned On, the program places the salutation name from the Client record,
- èsuch as 'Bill,' into the salutation field instead of the first name,
- such as 'William.
-
- If turned Off, only the first name is placed into this field.
- |
- 1 = Include 'Salutation' field |
- 2= Omit 'Salutation' field |
