Day Planner Help File 03 - Contacts

Figure 1 - Contacts Form

The Contacts application is a great place for storing all of your contacts, in a neat fashion. When the contacts application is opened, it will look like the image on the right. In addition to storing your current contacts, the application is also capable of adding new contacts, and deleting contacts as well.

Viewing Contacts:
All of the contacts that you have currently entered appear in the top list box on the form. If you have many contacts, you can scroll through them using the scroll bar on the right side of the list box.



Searching Contacts:

Figure 2 - Add a Contact Form

When you have so many contacts that scrolling through them all becomes inefficient, or you just want a quick way to find a specific contact, you can use the search function. To use the function, type in the name or number (partial names and numbers will work as well) into the text box directly under the "Search Text:" label. After you have done so, press the "Search" button. Contacts which match your search terms will be displayed in the list box directly under the "Searched Contacts:" label.

Adding Contacts:
To add a contact, click on the "Add Contact" button located at the top of the form. Once you have done so, a new form will pop up, asking for the information of the contact you wish to add. Also on the form is a list box with all of your current contacts. In their respective text boxes, type in the first name, last name and phone number of the individual you wish to add as a contact. Then, simply click "Add Contact" to add the contact. The contact you added should appear at the bottom of the list box on the form. To go back to the contacts form, click the "Back to Contacts" button.

Deleting a Contact:
To delete a contact, first, scroll to the contact you wish to delete in the upper list box on the Contacts form, and click it with your mouse to highlight it. After you have done that, just press "Delete Contact" to delete that contact.

Going back to the Home Screen:
Click the "Home" button at the bottom of the form to go back to the Home Screen.
