Viewing contact databases Controlling how you view contact information Navigating to a particular name Grouping your contacts Viewing contact databases There are several ways you can control how you view contact information in your Contacts folder and other contact databases. If you show the contacts in index card view, you will have immediate access to standard information, such as phone numbers, so that you can call someone without having to open their contact form. You can click this information twice to make it editable, then update it right in this view. If you want your contacts sorted by last name, show them in list view, then add the Last Name column and sort by this column. Top Controlling how you view contact information FirstClass supplies several versions of the form you use to add and store contacts. For example, if you are used to an Outlook or Palm personal address form, there are FirstClass forms that have a similar layout. Choose the form you want to use in your Contacts folder, and as the default form in any contact databases that you create, in your preferences. Choose the form you want to use for a specific contact database in that contact database's permissions. Top Navigating to a particular name To go to the first name that starts with a particular letter, or starts with a number, click the appropriate button at the right of the contact database window. If there are two letters combined on a button, you can go to the first name that starts with the second letter by clicking the button twice. Top Grouping your contacts You can create contact databases within your Contacts folder, or another contact database, to organize contact information. For example, you can create a contact database for all contacts involved with a special project, then move or copy entries into this contact database. You can share this contact database just as you would any other contact database. Top
