his chapter describes using the Tel
(Telephone) and User File applications.
These two applications are actually
identical in the way that they function, except that
they have different default file and field names
designed to handle different types of information.
The flexibility of these applications allows you to
manage a wide range of information, from a
simple address book to an extensive restaurant
guide or even a listing of your important business
contacts.
CHAPTER 4
Creating Your Own Database
The Tel and User File Applications
Each application provides three different files for the entries
it will store.
Each file in either application can be named and set up
from a built-in list of six types, or templates. These
templates are pre-defined for each application as follows.
For the Tel application: Telephone, Office, Contacts,
Business, Personal and Family.
For the User File application: Travel, Restaurant, A/V
Guide, Home Inventory, Inventory and Product.
The three Tel files are each set up automatically to provide
a simple address book. The default files set up on
initialization are:
TEL 1
Telephone template comprising three fields:
Name, Number and Address.
TEL 2
Contacts template comprising 12 fields:
Company, Contact, Title, Department, Tel
Number, Extension, Fax Number, Other Number,
E-Mail, Assistant, Address and Notes.
TEL 3
Personal template comprising nine fields: Name,
Home number, Work number, Cellular phone
number, Other number, Address, Spouse,
Children and Notes.
