Mini-documents structure

Suppose that you choose Business Organiser as your document type, and you choese Folders with shortcuts.

Step 1

Your first step is to rename the New Tree Folder to a name of your choice. Let us assume that you want to name it Tax Details. To do this you can do one of the following:

1 Place your mouse cursor on New Tree Folder. Right click the      mouse. In the pop out menu choose Rename Folder.
    2 You can go to the Folders menu and click on Rename Folder

The background of the folder slot turns white and you can now delete New Tree Folder and type in Tax Details. Your renamed folder is now ready.

Step 2

After renaming your folder you may wish to create a sub-folder called 1999-2000 for the current financial year. To do this you can do one of the following.

1 From the vertical icon bar on the left of the folder area of the program window click on the icon Insert new shortcut to the standard folder
    2 From the Folders menu click on Shortcuts/new

Choose an icon of your preference and click OK. A new subfolder appears with the icon you have chosen and a small text box. Into the text box enter 1999-2000 and press the Enter key. The white area on the right of the black folder area is the area in which you can start entering your data.

To create other similar folders you repeat the New Folder command from either the vertical icon bar or from the Folders menu. Let us suppose that your other folders are Client Details, Inventory, Employee Dossier and Investment. To each of these you can add mini-documents. Thus, your Employ Dossier may contain the mini-documents New Employees, Sales, Marketing, Finance and Research for each of these categories of employees.

In addition to these folders and sub-folders that you have created each Business Organiser document that you open contains an Address Book with two shortcuts PhoneNumbers and Birthdays. You can fill in these details in the white area of the program window.

Once you have begun using your Business Organiser with a shortcut structure your window will look something like this.
