DATABASE as PERSONAL YELLOW and WHITE PAGES

The "Phone Book" is used as a personal yellow/white pages. It organizes all of your non-business phone numbers and addresses into one database.

SECTION 1 YELLOW PAGES

I will describe a specific setup, but of course you can tailor it to suite your particular needs. Items in "parentheses" always indicates data to be entered into a field. Bold indicates headings or areas to go to.

Step: 1 Set Database Structure.

Touch Data Files, touch SETUP, touch DATA FILE 1, 2, or 3

then select the File Name tab

File Name: "Phone Book"

Number of Fields: "10"

Step: 2 Set up Field Categories

select Field Name tab

enter information as follows:

Step: 3 Set up Index View

select Index Form tab

enter information as follows:

First field: "Category"

Second Field: "Number"

Third Field: "Name"

Then touch OK. You have now set up the DATA FILE, now all you have to do is inter your information in.

What the Yellow Pages does is organize your information so that you can find things by Categories. If one of your entries was for a baby sitter you would enter it as follows:

The Index View for this would look something like this:

SECTION 2 WHITE PAGES

The white pages are entered into the same database but are entered in a little different.

For Category you enter the small picture of a running person found in your symbol database (tap on the "SMBL" key next to the "SPACE" bar). This indicates that this is a person and not a business. It also forces the Zaurus to move all these entries to the # tab after the entries starting with the letter Z. So, every time you are looking for one of your friends information from the index view you would touch the "#" tab at the bottom and select the person you are looking for. This works well because usually you have less actual friends than business associates that require much more information. Right next to the picture of the running man you enter a space, then the first initial of the persons last name. See the example below.
