| 3 | Contacts is a way to keep track of all the people you know, and how to contact | ||
| 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> | ||

| 41 | <section><title>Editing Contacts</title> | ||

| 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". | ||

| 51 | <section><title>Deleting Contacts</title> | ||
| 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> | ||

| 59 | |||
| 60 | <section><title>Editing Contacts</title> | ||
| 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". | ||

| 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). | ||
