How to use Power Contact?

Setting up the Preferences
It is recommended to configure your network and dialing preferences first. It is good to do it before you actually start using Power Contact. To configure your preferences, open Preferences window by selecting menu File > Preferences... (Application > Preferences... on OS X) If you do not want ot utilize the communication functions of the Power Contact, you can skip this step.

Working with documents
Power Contact stores data (contacts and categories) in Document window. First thing you have to do is to create new document. To do so, select menu File > New... Now when the document is created, you can start adding information to it.
Try to create a category. Select menu Item > New Category... This will open new Category window. Enter name of the category to be created (e.g. Friends) and click OK button. Category will be created in the document. You can add more categories (e.g. Family, Colleagues, Mac users, Classmates, etc.)
Now add a contact to your document. Select menu Item > New Contact... This will open new Contact window. Fill in all information about your contact, at least name/nick. When you are done, click OK button. The contact will be added to the document. Repeat this to add more contacts.

If your document contains more contacts, there's a good reason to organize them in categories. Select a contact and while holding the mouse button pressed, drag it to a desired category. Release the mouse button, and the contact will be moved. You can move even more contact at the time as well as you can move whole categories. Organizing contact in categories works the same way as organizing files in folders. Your document can have virtually any number of categories, subcategories, and contacts.

Categories as well as contacts can be edited, duplicated, or removed. If you want to perform some task with the category/contact you must select it and then choose a command from the menu Item. Please remember, that categories are duplicated/removed with all their contents.
If there are too many contacts in your document, you can use Find window to search for the contacts. Found contacts are displayed in Search Results window.

With View options Power Contact lets you decide, what informations will be displayed in the document and how. To set view preferences of the document, select menu Edit > View Options...

Communication
Power Contact allows you to use a couple of communication functions (in case you have configured network and dialing preferences). These are accessible via Contact menu.
Select a contact in your document. Now you can choose menu Contact > Dial... which will display Dial window. Using this window you can dial a phone number using speaker or modem. Power contact is ready to go with support for different locations. Learn more about locations in Locations window help page.
