Use this button to + refresh the display for a network folder, or to switch from + viewing the results of a search and see all your contacts. + + + + Stop stops loading + contact data from the network. This button is only + relevant if you are looking at contact information on a + network. + + + + + Your contact information fills the rest of the display. Move + through the cards alphabetically with the buttons and the + scrollbar to the right of the window. Of course, if you have + more than a few people listed, you'll want some way of finding + them more quickly, which is why there's a search feature. + + + + + The Contact Editor + + To delete a contact: + + + + Click once on the contact. + + + + + Press the Delete button. + + + + + + If you want to add or change cards, you'll use the contact + editor. To change a card that already exists, double click on + it to open the contact editor window. If you want to create a new + card, clicking the New button in the + toolbar will open the same window, with blank entry boxes for + you to fill in. + + + + The contact editor window has two tabs, + General, for basic contact information, + and Details, for a more specific + description of the person. In addition, it contains a + File menu, (see ) and a toolbar with three + items: Save and Close, + Print, and Delete. + + +

+ + The General tab has seven sections, + each with an icon: a face, for name and company; a telephone + for phone numbers; an envelope for email address; a globe for + web page address; a house for postal address; a file folder + for contacts, and a briefcase for categories. + + + + + + Full Name + + + The Full Name field has two + major features: + + + + You can enter a name into the Full + Name field, but you can also click the + Full Name button to bring + up a small dialog box with a few text boxes + + + Title: + + Enter an honorific or select one from the menu. + + + + First: + + Enter the first, or given, name. + + + + Middle: + + Enter the middle name or initial, if any. + + + + Last: + + Enter the last name (surname). + + + + Suffix: + + Enter suffixes such as "Jr." or "III." + + + + + + + + + The Full Name field also + interacts with the File As + box to help you organize your contacts. + + + To see how it works, type a name in the + Full Name field: + Rupert T. Monkey. You'll + notice that the File As field + also fills in, but in reverse: + Monkey, Rupert. + You can pick Rupert Monkey + from the drop-down, or type in + your own, such as T. Rupert Monkey + . + + + Filing Suggestion + + Don't enter something entirely different from the + actual name, since you might forget that you've filed + Rupert's information under "F" for "Fictitious Ximian + Employee." + + + + + + Multiple Values for Fields + + + If you click on the small arrow buttons next to the + Primary Email field, you can also + choose Email 2 and + Email 3. Although the contact + editor will only display one of those at any given + time, Evolution will + store them all. The arrow buttons next to the + telephone and postal address fields work in the same + way. + + + + + + + The last item in the General tab is the + Categories organization tool; for + information on that, read . + + + The Details tab is much simpler: + + + + The briefcase - Describes the person's professional life + + + + + The face - Describes the person's personal life + + + + + The globe - Miscellanious notes + + + + + + Contact Shortcuts + + You can add cards from within an email message or calendar + appointment. While looking at an email, right-click on + any email address or message, and choose + Create Card for this Address or + Create Card for this Sender + from the menu. + + + + + + + Searching for Contacts + + Evolution allows searching through contacts + quickly and easily. + + + To search through contacts: + + + + Select your search focus in the search bar. + + + + + Enter your query. + + + + + Press return to search. + + + + + + You can refine searches by doing several in + succession, or start over by pressing the Show + All button. + + + If there are no matches, the card display will be + blank. When you'd like to see all the cards again, press + Show All. + + + Refining a Quick Search + + Tom comes back from lunch and finds a note on his + keyboard: "Curtis in sales called for you, but he didn't + leave a number, and I forgot to write down the name of the + company he works for. He said it was important, though." + Tom is not at all annoyed. + + + He opens his contacts folder, and runs a quick search for + "Curtis." There are eighteen different people with that name + in the file. He then enters "Sales," and + Evolution narrows it down to the + right Curtis. He only becomes annoyed when he discovers that + the call was not actually important. + + + + + To perform a complex search through your contacts: + + + + Open + + Tools + Search for contacts + + + + + + Name the rule in the Rule Name field. + + + + + Setup your criteria information in the If section. + + + + + If you want to add more critera, click the Add + Criterion button. + + + + + Click Search. + + + + + + To show all your contacts, select Show All in the + Search Bar or search with an empty query. + + + + + + Organizing your Address Book + + Organizing your address book is a lot like organizing your + mail. You can have folders and searches the same way you can + with mail, but the address book does not allow Virtual Folders. It + does, however, allow each card to fall under several + categories, and allow you to create your own categories. To + learn about categories, read . + + + + + + Groups of contacts + + Evolution offers two ways for you + to organize your cards. The first way is to use folders; + this works the same way mail folders do. For more + flexibility, you can also mark contacts as elements of + different categories. + + + + Grouping with Folders + + The simplest way to group address cards is to use folders. + By default, cards start in the + Contacts folder. If you've read then you already know that you + can create a new folder by selecting + + File + New + Folder + + and that you can put new folders anywhere you like. Just + like with mail, cards must be in a card folder, and no card + can be in two places at once. If you want more + flexibility, try . + + + To put a card into a folder, just drag it there from the + folder view. Remember that contact cards can only go in + contact folders, just like mail can only go in mail folders, + and calendars in calendar folders. + + + + + Grouping with Categories + + The other way to group cards is to mark them as belonging + to different categories. + That means that you + can mark a card as being in several categories or no + category at all. For example, I put my friend Matthew's + card in the "Business" category, because he works with me, + the "Friends" category, because he's also my friend, and + the "Frequent" category, because I call him all the time + and can never remember his phone number. + + + To mark a card as belonging to a category, click the + Categories button at the lower + right. From the dialog box that appears, you can check as + many or as few categories as you like. + + + Then, you can refer to all the cards in that category by: + Waiting for Evolution to support the + operation. + + + + + + + + + + + Sharing your Cards + + If you keep your cards on a network using an LDAP server, you can share access to + them, browse other peoples address books, or maintain a shared set of + contact information for your company or your department. This + is the sort of feature you'll want to use if your company has a + list of vendors and clients that needs constant updating. If + you share calendars as well as address books, people can avoid + duplicating work and keep up to date on developments within + their workgroup or across the entire company. + + + + Sharing Address Cards and Calendar Data + + Ray wants to schedule a meeting with Company X, so he + checks the network for the Company X address card so he + knows whom to call there. Since his company also shares + calendars, he then learns that his co-worker Deanna has + already scheduled a meeting with Company X next Thursday. + He can either go to the meeting himself or ask Deanna to + discuss his concerns for him. Either way, he avoids + scheduling an extra meeting with Company X. + + + + Of course, you don't want to share all of your cards— why + overload the network with a list of babysitters or tell + everyone in the office you're talking to new job prospects? If + you keep cards on your own computer, you can decide which items + you want to make accessible to others. + + + To learn how to add a remote directory to your available + contact folders, see . + Once you have a connection, the network contacts folder or + folders will appear inside the External + Directories folder in the folder bar. It will work + exactly like a local folder of cards, with the following + exceptions: + + + + + Network folders are only available when you are + connected to the network. If you use a laptop or have a + modem connection, you may wish to copy or cache the + network directory and then synchronize your copy with + the networked version periodically. + + + + + + To prevent excess network traffic, + Evolution will not normally + load the contents of LDAP folders immediately upon + opening. You must click Display + All before LDAP folder cards will be loaded + from the network. You can change this behavior in the + Contact Preferences window. + + + + + Your ability to view, change, add, and delete contacts + depends on the settings of the LDAP server. + + + + + + + + Address Book Tools + + The address book works closely with + Evolution's mail and calendar tools. + For example, you can use the address book to help you manage + mailing lists, and send or recieve address cards over email. + More tools are on the way, and when they arrive, + they will be described in this section. + + + + Send me a Card: Adding New Cards Quickly + + As noted before, when you get information about a person in + the mail or in a calendar entry, you can add it to an address + card. To do so, right click on any email address or email + message, and select Add Address + Card from the menu that appears. Of course, + Evolution can also add cards from a + hand-held device during HotSync operation. For more + information about that, see . + + + + + Managing a Mailing list + + You already know that when you are writing an email, you can + address it to one or more people, and that + Evolution will fill in addresses + from your address book's address cards if you let it. In + addition to that, you can send email to everyone in a + particular group if you choose. + + + + + + + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
