Creating a cardfile

When you create a cardfile, first decide what fields you want on each card. You can create all these fields yourself, or you can use a template—an empty cardfile that already has fields in place. If you select a template, you can customize it, keeping some or all of its fields and adding your own.

To create a new cardfile

Choose File New Cardfile. Choose the template you want from the list that appears, as shown below.

If you want to customize a cardfile, you may find it easier to edit the provided field names of a cardfile template rather than to create all of the field names.

1Click the arrow and choose each template individually from the list.

2You can see the predefined fields for each template. When you find the best template for your needs, click OK. If you want to define all your own fields, choose None from the Cardfile Template list.

The new cardfile contains the field names from the template, but no information until you add cards.

NOTE If no cardfiles are open, use Cards Define Fields to open the Select Cardfile Template dialog box.
