If the north and south locations have different dialing requirements (such as call waiting in the north but not in the south), you can set up two different sets of dialing properties in the I am dialing from list box. Then, when you switch locations, you can change the dialing properties by changing the name that appears in the I am dialing from list box.

Organizing the Address book

As you add contacts to the Address Book, divide the contacts into logical groups. This makes it easier for you to find the contacts you enter.

You group the contacts together by adding folders to the Address Book and moving your contacts into the appropriate folders. A simple example is to add two folders, one named Personal and one named Business. All of your business contacts are then stored in the Business folder and all of your personal contacts are stored in the Personal folder. For more information, refer to “

new folder in the Address Book” on page 71.

Creating a

Copying a contact

When you copy a contact, you create a new contact in the Address Book based on the original contact. Personal Call Manager provides two ways to copy a contact: a linked copy and a template copy. In the linked copy, all of the information about the contact is copied. In a template copy, all of the information about the contact except the contact name is copied. In both methods of copying, the original contact remains in the original folder.

Deciding which copy method to use

The copy method you choose depends on what you want to do. Refer to the table below to decide which copy method to use.

Business Communications Manager Personal Call Manager

66 Chapter 1 Personal Call Manager

Table 1 Copy Methods

Linked Copy Template Copy

Information copied

Changes are linked

Purpose

Example

The new contact contains the exact same information as the original contact.

Ye s . When you change one of the properties

of the contact, Personal Call Manager automatically updates the original contact and all of the copies of the contact.

Use a linked copy when you want to have identical copies of a single contact in several different folders. You do this to make the contact easier to find and organize.

You know a person who is your sales representative and a member of your baseball team. Put the original contact in your Business folder and make a linked copy of the contact in your Personal folder. You can then find contact information for this person when you are looking for sales representatives or baseball players. If this person’s telephone number changes, you can change either copy of the contact and both copies are updated.

The new contact has a different name than the original contact. The other contact information is the same.

No. When you change one of the properties

of the contact, the other copies are not changed.

Use a template copy to create a new contact that is similar, but not identical to, an existing contact.

A new person joins a company you that you already have a contact for. The address and telephone number of the new contact is the same as the existing contact, but the name is different. To make a contact for the new person, make a copy of the existing contact and change the name.

For information about how to make a linked copy of a contact, refer to “

Copying a contact using

the linked copy method” on page 66.

For information about how to make a template copy of a contact, refer to “
