Most of the Contact fields are self-explanatory.  The following fields need some description.

General Tab:

1. Full Name...: This is a smart field.  You can enter full name without capitalizing or punctuation.  For example, you can enter 'mr john doe'.  The application decodes the Title, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name and Suffix automatically.  You can click on the Full Name button to see how the application decoded your input.
2. Phone Number fields: These are smart fields.  You can enter the phone number (10 digits) without any spaces or dashes.  For example, you can enter 8005551212 x12.  For entering country code (outside US, Canada), start with a plus (+) sign.  You can click on the Lookup button on the phone number field to see how the application decoded your input. Also by clicking on the Phone link you can dial automatically, if you configure your computer with the Phone system.
3. Company Name: Enter the company name or click on the Lookup button to link the company if already exists or create a new company from the link window.
4. Send Hotlist: Check mark if you will be sending hotlist to this Contact.
5. Send Reqlist: Check mark if you will be sending reqlist to this Contact.

Details Tab:

1. Address Link: You can display the street map of the contact's address.  Street map will be displayed in the built-in browser window.  You can switch back to Contacts list by clicking on Contacts in the Folder List.
2. Categories Button: You can assign multiple categories for each Contact.  Click on the Categories button and check the desired categories.  For example, you can assign "Vendor, Prime Vendor, SAP Vendor" to a contact.  
3. Groups Button: You can assign multiple Groups for each Contact.  Unlike categories, this allows you to 'profile' contacts based on non-professional classification.
4. Owners Button: You can assign one or more 'Owners' for each Contact.  Owner is the person who will be interacting with this contact.

QNotes Tab:

1. Archived Box: Very important field.  If a contact requests you to 'remove' from the list, you should not delete the contact, instead Archive the contact.  Same rule applies if the contact is obsolete. 

User Fields Tab:

1. Ten fields are provided for you to add additional data.  You can customize the user fields by using the Database Designer.
