Using the Telephony Manager Applications
Using Phonebook
Phonebook is a card file application that serves as your phone book in which you store names, addresses, and phone numbers. By clicking the mouse, you can place calls directly from Phonebook.
To understand how Phonebook operates, it is helpful to recall how a card file works. A card file is a unit that stores separate index cards, which are sorted according to whatever method you want (usually alphabetical order) and contain specific information you enter. When you obtain a new card file, it is usually empty. You must then enter data on a card and add the card to the card file. Eventually, the card file contains a “bank” of cards. If you want to modify a card in the card file, you must find the card in the card file, remove it, make your changes, and then place it back to its position in the bank. If you want to delete a card, you must locate the card in the card file and remove it (usually, you throw it away).
Each Phonebook directory can be thought of as being a separate card file unit. Each Phonebook directory contains separate data entries, which are referred to as “cards.” Each Phonebook directory can contain a maximum of 20,000 cards. These cards contain specific information that you enter. When you create a new Phonebook directory, it does not contain any cards. The card list box, which lists the cards present in the directory, is empty, and the Card Contents form displays a blank card. As with a card file, you must then access a new, blank card (via the Add button), enter data on the blank card, and add the new card to the Phonebook (via the Save button).
If you want to modify a card in the Phonebook directory, you must find the card that you wish to modify, remove it from the card list box, make your changes to the card (via the Edit button), and then place it back in the card list box (via the Save button). If you want to delete a card, you must locate the card in the card list box and delete it (via the Delete button) from the directory.
