Contact Options

 
     

Your contact manager comes with a built-in option control that can help you tailor your contact management experience to your needs. To use it...

  1. In the contact manager, click Tools, Options from the menus.


  2. In the list of options provided, mark your preferences. Options are:
    • Mark contacts entered within the last # days as "new" - Use this option to define your view of what constitutes a new contact based on the length of time in days that it has been in your contact manager.
    • Show # records at a time - Use this setting to control how many contacts appear on screen at one time as you work in your contact manager. The default is 25 contacts per page.
    • Display the contact's --- phone number in the grid - The contact manager readily stores several different contact phone numbers to help you keep track of the often numerous ways you can get in touch with your contact. This setting allows you to set a "preferred" phone number in the contact overview screen so that you do not have to open each contact to see the phone numbers you need.
    • Contact details expanded by default - When you edit a contact, the editing area is divided up into several sections. By default, only the basic contact information is visible, requiring you to click and expand sections that contain other information. If you want to simplify the process of editing contacts, you can eliminate the section-expansion step by checking the box beside each section you want to be open by default.
  3. When finished, click Save to apply your changes.
