4 | them. as well as other information, such as their birthday, the company they | ||
5 | work for, etc. | ||

9 | <para> | ||
10 | To Add a user, go to | ||
11 | <GUImenu>Contact</GUImenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Add</GUIMenuItem>, | ||
12 | or click the add icon in the toolbar (looks like a blank piece of paper). | ||
13 | First, you need to give the person a name. You can do this by either entering | ||
14 | their name in the name field, or by pressing "Full Name...", which will open | ||
15 | up a new dialog that lets you enter each part of their name individually. Three | ||
16 | of the entry fields have pulldown menus instead of labels that let you set which | ||
17 | parameter these input fields control. The File As field lets you control how | ||
18 | their name is displayed in the main view, use the pulldown arrow to select from | ||
19 | some common ways of ordering their first and last names, or type in a custom | ||
20 | one. You can also select a category for the user to be filed under, and clicking | ||
21 | the button labeled "..." lets you edit the available catagories (these are | ||
22 | convinient for displaying just the contacts you want when you have a lot of | ||
23 | them). | ||
24 | </para> | ||
25 | <para> | ||
26 | The address tab lets you edit the contact's buisness and home addresses (select | ||
27 | which one you want to change from the pulldown menu at the top). The bottom | ||
28 | field behaves just like the three custom fields in the "General" tab (and if | ||
29 | you select the same thing from the pulldown list, it will modify the same | ||
30 | parameter). | ||
31 | </para> | ||
32 | <para> | ||
33 | The Details tab is used for miscelaneous things like the person's position, the | ||
34 | name of their spouse, etc. | ||
35 | </para> | ||
36 | <para> | ||
37 | When you are done, click "Ok" in the top right of the screen (you can always | ||
38 | edit their profile later), click the "x" to cancel, and not add the contact. | ||
39 | </para> | ||

44 | icon, or go to <GUIMenu>Contact</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Edit</GUIMenuItem>, | ||
45 | and it will open up the same dialog used to add a user, except their information | ||
46 | that is already entered will already be filled in. To finalise the changes, | ||
47 | click "Ok", or to cancel them, click "x". | ||
48 | </para> | ||

52 | <para> | ||
53 | To delete a contact, select the person from the list of contacts, and click the | ||
54 | trash can icon, or go to <GUIMenu>Contact</GUIMenu> | ||
55 | &arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Delete</GUIMenuItem>. A dialog will pop up asking if you | ||
56 | want to actually delete that contact, click yes to delete it, no will cancel. | ||
57 | </para> | ||

61 | <para> | ||
62 | To find a specific person, click the find icon (green magnifying glass), or go | ||
63 | to <GUIMenu>Contact</GUIMenu>&arrow;<GUIMenuItem>Find</GUIMenuItem>. A dialog | ||
64 | will pop up, and in the "Find what" input, enter the string you want to search | ||
65 | for. You can also select if you want the search to be case sensative, and if you | ||
66 | want it to search backwards from the currently selected user. The Category drop | ||
67 | down menu lets you search only a specific category ("All" to search all of | ||
68 | them). When you click "Find", it will start search for the string in all the | ||
69 | fields in all the contacts. When it finds a match, it will highlight the user in | ||
70 | the main view. You can use this to search for (as an example) who a certain | ||
71 | phone number belongs to, by entering the phone number in the "find what" field, | ||
72 | and clicking "Find". | ||

76 | <section><title>Viewing Contacts</title> | ||
77 | <para> | ||
78 | To view only the contacts in a certain category, go to the View menu, and check | ||
79 | the categories you want to view. | ||
80 | </para> | ||
81 | <para> | ||
82 | The list of letters on the bottom of the window lets you look at only the | ||
83 | contacts who's names begin with that letter. These work much like entering text | ||
84 | on a mobile phone. For example, to view all the contacts whos name starts with | ||
85 | "B", press the "ABC" group twice (since "B" is the second letter in that | ||
86 | group). To go back to displaying all of the letters, click it two more times | ||
87 | (pressing it four times brings you back to all the letters, so you pressed it 2 | ||
88 | times to get to "B" and 2 more times to get back to all letters. 2+2=4). | ||
