GENERAL ADVICE
--------------
These are suggestions for new users to help them get started
quickly and avoid pit falls later on. Ofcourse, you can come up
with your own set of rules depending on your style.
- Before starting, read the Help item "Getting Started".
- Set your preferences. You can get to the Preferences Dialog
from "Edit -> Preferences" menu item.
- It is easiest to enter information using EasyLists. Design
your own EasyList depending on what kind of information you
want to enter at one time. Some predefined EasyLists are
already provided for your convenience. You can define new
EasyLists or edit the definition of an existing EasyLists by
clicking on "EasyLists -> Define EasyList..." menu item.
- Create Person objects to store information of people like
their home, work and email addresses, telephone and fax
numbers, family relationships, age, date of birth and
marriage, etc.
- Create a Business object if you only want to store information
NOT associated with a person but is associated with a business
entity. You can store business name, postal and email address,
telephone and fax numbers, and comments.
- For Person Objects, specify the following relationships
whenever you can:
- Living With: This will automatically help you share home
address, phone and fax between persons living
together.
- Working With: This will automatically help you share
Company Name and Work Address between
persons working together. In the next
release, you can also optionally share the
work phone and fax numbers.
- When entering a Person's name, follow a convention of entering
first name, middle name, last name in that order.
- Currently you can specify only one telephone or fax number, or
email address from within an EasyList. If you want to specify
more than one telephone or fax number, or email address, you
can do it from EasyEditor. However once specified, they will
appear in the EasyList too, and you can modify the values from
EasyList.
- Dates should be specified as MM/DD/YYYY. Note, that you must
specify all the four digits of the year.
Example: 1995 is correct, whereas 95 is not correct.
