Viewing contact databases
There are several ways you can control how you view contact information in your Contacts folder and other contact databases.
If you show the contacts in index card view, you will have immediate access to standard information, such as phone numbers, so that you can call someone without having to open their contact form. You can click this information twice to make it editable, then update it right in this view.
In index card view, your contacts are automatically color coded by category, if you assigned categories to them.
Controlling how you view contact information
FirstClass supplies several versions of the form you use to add and store contacts. For example, if you are used to an Outlook or Palm personal address form, there are FirstClass forms that have a similar layout.
Choose the form you want to use in your Contacts folder, and as the default form in any contact databases that you create, in your preferences. Choose the form you want to use for a specific contact database in that contact database's permissions.
Navigating to a particular name
To go to the first name that starts with a particular letter, or starts with a number, click the appropriate button at the right of the contact database window.
If there are two letters combined on a button, you can go to the first name that starts with the second letter by clicking the button twice.
Opening contacts' web pages
 Only applicable if you use a contact form that includes web site fields.If you supplied company/personal web site URLs when you created a contact, you can go to the contact's web page directly from the contact form.
To do this, choose Open Link from the context menu at the field that contains the URL.
Viewing maps for contacts' addresses
If you supplied a business or personal mailing address when you created a contact, you can go to the map web page for that address directly from the contact form.
To do this, click Map.
You can change the map web site that FirstClass uses in your preferences.
