Adding a Person

Try clicking on “People” and you will get the People Window. Initially this list is empty. The following sections show you how to add entries.

Click on Add and a Person window opens.

Click in the First Name field and type a value. Click on Surname and other fields and do likewise. You can tab between fields. Date fields must be in the format DD-MMM-YYYY, e.g. 01-MAR-2008.

Some fields have pre-defined lists of values. For example, click on the little down arrow by the Salutation field. You can select the appropriate salutation.

Not all fields have to be filled in. Identification fields are mandatory. However, if you know a first name but do not know someone’s surname, enter the first name and a ? for the surname. Ignore the “Details” area for the moment. By now you should have something like this. Maybe you have filled in more fields.

Click on Add at the bottom left hand corner. The “Add” window is replaced by a very similar one where the bottom left button has been replaced by “Update”.

Click on Next to see how to add further details about a person to your database.
