- Dear Prospective Customer:
-
- Thank you for evaluating DayFlo TRACKER Lite.
-
- The original DayFlo "engine" was created by an investment of
- several venture capital firms of more than $10,000,000 and won
- several awards for creativity and capability.
-
- All DayFlo TRACKER series products including a multiuser version
- are enhanced versions of the original DayFlo text oriented engine.
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite was created with the shareware market in mind.
- It is believed a low cost but highly functional DayFlo TRACKER Lite
- will allow deeper penetration into markets that need its'
- flexibility, record linking and textual capabilities.
-
- More specifically we believe this version will be used by
- professionals who need a capable and flexible Information Manager
- for such tracking tasks as;
- research notes
- article abstracting
- flexible contact management
- library type topics
- tasks/projects
- personal information management
-
- These professionals will come from many industries and will
- certainly include, engineers, scientists, professors, students and
- from a contact management standpoint-sales professionals.
-
- Introducing: DayFlo TRACKER Lite
-
- DESIGNED TO KEEP TRACK OF ABSOLUTELY EVERY Article, Contact,
- Client, Prospect, Task, Document, Letter, Memo and much more.
-
- Keeping track of details is what computers do best! DayFlo TRACKER
- Lite makes it easy by combining the functions of an easy-to-use
- word processor with the powerful retrieval, organizational and
- reporting capabilities of a database.
-
- Track your contacts
- Know your clients
- Know your commitments
- Organize your information
- Follow-up on time and on target
-
- KEEP TRACK OF ALL INFORMATION YOU NEED TO GET AHEAD AND STAY THAT
- WAY WITH DayFlo TRACKER Lite.
-
-
- GENERAL INFORMATION
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite is pre-configured with certain forms, reports,
- for Contact Management, articles, documents and more.
-
- There are many advantages to using DayFlo TRACKER Lite for the
- management of contacts and correspondence over other contact
- managers.
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite is a database which allows addition of, or
- modification to the provided forms and reports to suit your needs.
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite handles up to 5,000 records per database. Each
- record can contain up to 32,000 characters. The number of fields
- in the record are unlimited. Up to 30 fields may be indexed for
- fast access.
-
- A multiple field value capability allows up to 101 separate indexed
- values per record. Multiple field values are most useful in
- tagging a contact with keywords, adding multiple contact names or
- capturing phone numbers which vary with each record.
-
- Unique to DayFlo TRACKER Lite is its flexibility of field and
- record lengths. Both fields and records can expand in length
- without user intervention. Amazingly, expanding fields simply "push
- down" fields and information below them. This allows for new
- contact information to be entered directly into the record.
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite 's reporting function outputs both textual and
- columnar information with format controls, headers, titles, footers
- and page numbering provided.
- PLEASE READ THIS -- Even if you dislike reading manuals!
-
-
- If you have experience with other database or file products and do
- not plan to read this manual before starting, please read this
- page.
-
- If you are not familiar with other database or file products do not
- be bothered that this page is "tech-y".
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite is both a database and a word processor.
- Records contain both fields and textual information.
-
- Fields can be moved around within the record to allow for the
- addition of text.
-
- Fields and records are variable length. A document such as the text
- of a letter is put directly in a text field. The Report Command is
- generally used for printing.
-
- The word processing function is not a separate product. Word
- processing commands are available at anytime. You'll be amazed that
- the cut and paste functions can include field names and can
- function across records.
-
- A DayFlo TRACKER Lite database is similar to a relational type
- database in that many different record types reside in a single DOS
- file and you can have more than one database.
-
- Records are linked when the field name is the same. For example a
- Get Command issued for the field "Company:" will retrieve any type
- of record that contains "Company:".
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite provides a concept called stack and files. A
- record is either on the stack or in the files but not both. A
- stack is similar to other database products in that upon record
- retrieval of say 10 records you may page between via F9 & F10. In
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite the records are in the stack (F9 & F10 to move
- back and forth) but are also still permanently saved on disk.
-
- Note PgUp/PgDn are used similar to a word processor as records in
- DayFlo TRACKER Lites' expand similarly. Therefore F9 & F10 are
- used to move between records as described above.
-
-
- Use Ctrl-Break to halt an operation. Never use Ctrl-Alt-Del.
-
- MOST IMPORTANT. The editor backspace key does not function past
- the end of line. Use the delete key and the editor delete - line
- command. The "hot key" from the editor is Ctrl-D. Remembering
- this will save you frustration.

- Printer File name
-
- IBM PROPRINTER ibmpro.pdf
- EPSON epson.pdf
- EPSONFX epsonfx.pdf
- HP LASERJET hplaser.pdf
-
- The file that DayFlo TRACKER Lite uses to drive a printer is
- PRINTER.FLO. The files above are printer.flo files built for the
- given printer.
-
- To INSTALL a different printer:
-
- 1. Copy the appropriate file to the file printer.flo.
- (For example to install a laser printer use the DOS copy
- command ------->copy hplaser.pdf printer.flo)
-
- The HP Laserjet driver should work for all laser printers and the
- deskjet. Additional drivers will be supplied when you register.
- COMPATIBILITY
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite will not work directly with databases created
- with prior versions of DayFlo TRACKER (1.1,1.4,3.0 or DayFlo).
- Please contact vendor for information on upgrading to the latest
- release of the professional version.
-
- A import/export utility is available separately allowing transfer
- of dbase and textual data for DayFlo TRACKER Lite.
-
-
- BACKING UP YOUR INFORMATION
-
- Please be aware all data entered into DayFlo TRACKER Lite will be
- stored in a single DOS file along with all forms and reports. The
- default name is trackerl.ddb. The indexes are stored in a file
- trackerl.dix. There is also a corresponding .dwa pointer file.
-
- Therefore to backup your data you only need to copy the one file
- unless you have more than one database file (.ddb).
-
- Please be aware the backup commands provided on the Utility menu
- are for moving records and the dictionary to different databases
- and not for general backup.

-
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite's DATABASE
-
- If you are familiar with word processors, you know that a word
- processor keeps each document in a separate DOS file. Therefore
- managing a large number of Documents means managing a large number
- of DOS files. A difficult task.
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite solves this problem by keeping all of its
- information in one DOS file called a Database. A Database can
- handle up to 5,000 records and you can create additional Databases
- when needed.
-
- A record is normally retrieved by a field's value. For example:
- Name = John Brooks or Company = Alpha Electronics.
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite's database can contain many types of records.
- Several popular types of records were provided for you as follows:
- -Abstract/Article
- -Contact
- -Memo
- -Letter
- -Form Letter
- -ToDo
- -Document
- -Note Pad
- -Project
- -Personal Help Records
- With DayFlo TRACKER Lite you can create your own records and
- reports.
-
- With DayFlo TRACKER Lite, all records no matter what kind, along
- with their BlankForms and Reports are kept in a single database for
- easy access. This gives DayFlo TRACKER Lite relational Database
- capabilities.
-
-
-
- The STACK and the FILES
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite handles its Records similar to an office work
- area which contains a stack of papers on a desk and files in a
- filing cabinet. Instead of pieces of paper, DayFlo TRACKER Lite
- uses records. You can retrieve records to the STACK on your desk
- where you can work on them or file them in the filing cabinet. Just
- like pieces of paper, the records are only in one place at a time,
- either on the STACK or in the FILES.
-
- Look at the STATUS LINE (the last line on the screen) and find the
- notation "1/5" (or similar). This notation indicates that there
- are five records sitting on the stack right now, and that the
- current record displayed on the screen is the first record in the
- stack. Below the current record are four more records. (The stack
- can contain up to 2500 records at the same time!)
-
- When you no longer need to work with the records in the stack (pile
- of papers on your desk), you can file them in DayFlo TRACKER Lite's
- filing cabinet. A record is saved anytime you are at the main menu.
- When a record is not on the stack, it is in DayFlo TRACKER Lite's
- files. Note that the converse is also true, that when a record is
- retrieved from the files and placed on the stack, it is no longer
- in the files.
-
-
- Note: If you are familiar with other databases or file products,
- a stack is similar to their normal retrieval. The difference is
- that with DayFlo TRACKER Lite the records are still on disk while
- they are on the stack. Hence you do not have to "file" a record for
- it to be saved on disk.
-
-
- Do not confuse DayFlo TRACKER Lite's files with a DOS file. Word
- processors and spreadsheet programs keep one document or one
- spreadsheet in a DOS file. DayFlo TRACKER Lite keeps all of your
- records, whether they are on the stack or in the DayFlo TRACKER
- Lite filing cabinet (files), in one DOS file, called the DayFlo
- TRACKER Lite database.

-
- MENU COMMANDS - More detail
-
-
- EDIT - Using the Editor
-
- The Edit command on the Main Menu lets you use the Editor. When you
- use the Editor you can enter information into the current record
- and use a variety of editing commands found on the Edit Menu.
- Press E to enter the Editor.
-
- Press F4 to display the Edit Menu.
-
- You can also issue editing commands DIRECTLY from the Editor
- without using the Edit Menu. Each editing command corresponds to
- a SPEED KEY (a combination key that includes the Ctrl key plus the
- highlighted letter).
-
- Adding a field value to a field is easy. If you are filling in a
- single field value, you can just type in the information. If you
- want to enter multiple values in a field (e.g., more than one phone
- number), you can use the EndVal command (Ctrl-E) to end one field
- value and start another.
-
-
- DELETING Text
-
- 1. Press Ctrl-D to start the Delete command.
- The following message displays:
- Delete: Line Paragraph Value Field
-
- "Line" will delete from the current cursor position to the end of
- the line including the hard return.
-
- "Paragraph" will delete the entire paragraph where the cursor is
- positioned.
-
- "Value and field" are the same unless the field has multiple
- values.
-
-
- FORMAT Text
-
- Please note that DayFlo TRACKER Lite does not provide auto-
- formatting. Please use the Format command (Ctrl-F) to format text
- to the current margins.
- SEARCH/REPLACE
-
- You can use the Search command (Ctrl-S) to search for and
- optionally replace a text string.
-
- Please be aware of the edit options screen (Ctrl-O). With
- appropriate settings in edit options and the count key (F8) you may
- search and replace across all records on the stack.
-
- The Search command can also search for fieldnames if you turn on
- fieldname mode (Ctrl-N).
-
-
- CUT & PASTE
-
- To use, press Ctrl-C to begin the Cut command.
-
- The following prompt displays:
- Cut: Keep Delete
-
- "Keep and Delete" are similar to "copy" and "move" in WordPerfect.
- Keep is like copy and delete is similar to move.
-
- A difference in DayFlo TRACKER Lite's Cut & Paste is that the
- cutout holder can hold multiple "cut's" via last in/first out.
-
-
- NOTE. DayFlo TRACKER Lite's editor differs only slightly from
- conventional word processors but a few extra minutes taken to learn
- the basic functions such as delete, cut and paste and cursor
- movement will save you valuable time in the future.
-
-
- GET COMMAND - Getting/Retrieving Records
-
- The Get command gets(retrieves) one or more records and places them
- on the stack. The records are taken from the files or the stack(s)
- and are retrieved based on the field name and field values you
- select.
-
- The Get command allows you to get records by their field values.
-
- The Get command retrieves records for fields "equal" to a field
- value or "contains" a field value.
-
- You will normally use "equals" for most indexed searches.
- "Contains" is very useful for textual searches.
-
- Please note that you may also use wild card characters (*,?,etc.).
-
- NOTE. More complex retrievals are available in the professional
- versions of DayFlo TRACKER.
- FILE COMMAND
-
- The File command takes the currently displayed record and places
- it in the files.
-
- There is a quick and easy way to file all of the records in the
- stack. You can use DayFlo TRACKER Lite's Count command (F8) to
- repeat File, (and most other DayFlo TRACKER Lite commands, as many
- times as you want). Let's file ALL of the records in the stack.
-
- Press F8 to set the COUNT.
-
- Look at the blinking message on the Status Line: COUNT = ALL
-
- The cursor is positioned under the letter 'A', so you can type any
- number from 1 to 999. However, since you are filing ALL of the
- records in the stack, you don't need to enter a number. Press F
- to file all of the records on the stack.
-
- Remember: Be sure to remember the F8 (Count) key. It is used
- anytime you want to do multiple deleting, copying of records.
-
-
-
- REPORT COMMAND
- ReportPrint
- MergePrint (form letters)
-
- The Report function is the primary way to output data from DayFlo
- TRACKER Lite record(s). The data can be output to screen, printer
- or DOS file.
-
- The Report command prints sophisticated reports from user-defined
- Report Formats. The Report Format controls how the report will look
- on paper, which fields will be included, whether the records should
- be sorted, and whether calculations should be performed.
-
- Please note that the report function does not issue a query. In
- order to do a report you must first GET the record(s) you want,
- then do the report.
-
-
- REPORT PRINT
-
- ReportPrint will print a report based on a selected report format
- from one or more records on the stack. The count key (F8) can be
- used to specify the desired number of records.
-
- MERGE PRINT - Merging Form Letters
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite lets you merge names and addresses of contact
- records with form letters. For example we can merge the names and
- addresses from all of the sample contact records with a form
- letter.
-
- 1. Press F2 to get to the Main Menu.
-
- 2. Press F8 then F to File all records on the stack.
-
- 3. From the Main Menu, press G to Get records.
-
- 4. Use the arrow keys or type: contact <<ENTER>> (to get the
- records with the field "CONTACT")
-
- 5. Type in the wild card character "*" to get all contact records,
- then press <<ENTER>>.
-
- 6. Press R for Report.
-
- 7. Press M for MergePrint.
-
- Use the arrow keys for selection or type: mail merge <<ENTER>>.
-
- 10. Press P for Printer, or press D for Display to send the output
- to your screen.
-
-
- The form letter is merged with each of the records on the stack,
- creating a personalized letter for each of the CONTACT records.
-
-
- When you need to retrieve a form letter to edit use the system
- field &form letter.
-
- Note: When you want to create your own Form Letter, follow these
- steps.
-
- 1. Select the BlankForm Form Letter.
- 2. Give a title or name in the field &Form Letter.
- 3. Enter the body of the letter in the field "Text:"
- 4. File the complete Form Letter.
-
-
- PRINT COMMAND
-
- The Print command prints records exactly as they appear on the
- screen. The Print command is useful for printing an entire record.
- To print or extract information with greater control and formatting
- you must use the Report Function. The Print command offers five
- options: 1)print field names and values, 2)print values only,
- 3)print first value only , 4)print screen and 5) Pagelayout.
-
-
- The Print command works with Count (F8). When you set the "COUNT,"
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite prints the "COUNT" number of records beginning
- with the currently displayed record and moving down through the
- stack. You must set the "COUNT" before starting the Print command.
-
-
- BLANKFORM COMMAND
-
- The BlankForms command lets you select copies of ready-made
- records whenever you need them. Then you can just fill them in.
-
- The BlankForms command can also be used to make new BlankForms to
- be used for data input.

- The Services Menu offers a variety of special features that let you
- sort, delete and copy records. In addition, the Services Menu
- allows you to view the values of your indexed fields, as well as
- providing access to the Utilities Menu, and the Configuration
- Options Menu.
-
- COPY a Record
-
- You can use the Copy command to make a copy of the record currently
- displayed on your screen. This is handy if you want to make changes
- to a record, but aren't sure whether the edited version will be
- exactly what you want to keep. You can also use the Count command
- (F8) with the Copy command to make several copies at one time.
- DELETE a Record
-
- You can use the Delete command to delete the record currently
- displayed on your screen. The deletion is permanent. It cannot be
- recovered. You can use the Count command (F8) with the Delete
- command to delete the COUNT number of records beginning with the
- currently displayed record, moving down the stack.

- BACKUP/RESTORE
-
- The backup commands provided on the Utility menu are for moving
- records and the dictionary to different databases and not for
- general backup.
-
- Please be aware all data entered into DayFlo TRACKER Lite will be
- stored in a single DOS file along with all forms and reports. The
- default file name is trackerl.ddb. It has a associate index file
- (.dix) and a .dwa file for stack/files record pointers.
-
- Therefore to backup your data you need to copy all three files for
- each database you have (normally one). If these files are larger
- than a diskette you must use a backup program. DayFlo TRACKER Lite
- will recreate a .dwa file if you forget to back it up. If this
- happens all your records will all be found in the files.
-
- SECTION 4 - Making a FORM
- Creating FIELDNAMES.
-
-
- MAKING a NEW FORM
-
- Before you start building your form, you'll need to move all of the
- Records on the stack to the files or go to a blank screen by
- pressing F8, F10.
-
- 1. Press the cursor key labeled End.
-
- The cursor should be in the top left-hand corner of the User Area.
-
- We'll set the margin all the way to the left while we build the
- form.
-
- 1. Press Ctrl-T to use the TabMrgn command.
-
- 2. Press L to select Left Margin.
-
-
- CREATING FIELD NAMES
-
- The first step in building a form is creating field names. The
- title of a form is actually a field name. It appears on the top
- line of the form. Form names and other frequently used fields are
- usually placed in the Field Dictionary and given an index for their
- values.
-
- The FIELD DICTIONARY is DayFlo TRACKER Lite's collection of
- often-used fields. When a field is placed in the Field Dictionary,
- it is assigned a FIELD DEFINITION that affects important
- characteristics of the field name and field values.
-
- The FIELD DEFINITION includes:
-
- - How a field name will appear in a record.
- - Which interpretation is used for field values e.g. date, text.
- - Whether to INDEX or not.
-
- A record can be retrieved much more quickly from the files if it
- contains a field that has an index of values.
-
- You'll need to use the Name command on the Edit Menu to create the
- form name and other fields in the form. Let's begin:
-
- 1. Press Ctrl-N to begin the Name command and enter the new field.
- Note that the status line indicates you are working in name mode
- as shown below:
- -----------------FieldName---------------
- 2. Press the F6 key three times to position the cursor at the third
- tab stop, near the center of the first line on the screen.
-
- 3. Type: DISTRIBUTOR
- Notice that the field name is highlighted as you type.
-
- 4. Press <<ENTER>>
- The following prompt displays:
- Add DISTRIBUTOR to Field Dictionary? Yes No
-
- 5. Press Y for Yes to add this field to the dictionary.
- The following prompt displays:
- Interpretation: Text Number Date Yes/No
-
- 6. Press T for Text.
- The following prompt displays:
- Index Yes No
-
- 7. Press Y for Yes.
- A completion message displays on the message line indicating
- that "DISTRIBUTOR" has been added to the Field Dictionary.
-
-
- You have just created a field name for a new field and placed the
- field in the Field Dictionary! You also made an index for the
- values of the new field so that records containing this field can
- be retrieved quickly.
-
- You can also add new fieldnames directly via the Dictionary command
- found on the Utilities Menu.
-
-
-
- Finishing the Master Form
-
- Now you can add other fields to the new Master Form. The Name
- command can also be used to enter a field which is already in the
- field dictionary. Use field names such as Company, Name and Phone
- to make a sample Master Form.
-
- DayFlo TRACKER Lite is freeform in nature allowing you to move the
- fieldnames around after you have entered them.
-
- After you add and position the fields where you want you can make
- it into a master form called a BlankForm.
-
- Then position the cursor where you would like it to start each time
- you select a new form.
-
- First reset the left margin to the column where it was earlier.
- (Press Ctrl-T for TabMrgn, L)
- 1. Press F2 to return to the Main Menu.
-
- 2. Press B for BlankForms.
-
- 3. Press M for Make.
-
- 4. Type in the desired name.
-
- Notice that the new Master Form is no longer on the stack. It has
- been compressed into a Master Form record and filed along with the
- other Master Forms. Also, the name of the new Master Form now
- appears on the list of existing Master Forms. You can select a
- BlankForm (copy) from this Master Form whenever you need it either
- by the menus or via Alt F9, or Alt F10.
-
