Automatically completing address fields
One feature of Expense that many users appreciate is the automatic fill
feature. It lets you select an expense type by writing the first letter of
an expense type in the Graffiti
®
writing area. For example, if you write
the letter “T,” it enters the “Taxi” expense type. Writing “T” and then
“E” enters “Telephone” which is the first expense type beginning with
the letters “TE.”
What changed?
Now the same feature is available in Address Book. As you enter
letters in the Title, Company, City, and State fields, text appears for the
first logical match that exists in your Address Book. As you enter more
letters, a closer match appears. For example, you may already have
Sacramento and San Francisco in your Address Book. As you enter
“S” Sacramento appears, and as you continue entering “a” and “n”
San Francisco replaces Sacramento. As soon as the word you want
appears, tap the next field to accept the word.
Note:
The automatic fill feature works with data you entered
directly on the handheld, not with data you input in the
Desktop application.
Viewing address record details
It has always been easy to see your appointments and address record
details at a glance, but there are some new features that have made
them even easier to read.
What changed?
In the Address list screen, some fields have identifying letters to
indicate what type of information is being displayed, and you can
select which type of phone or other information appears in the
Address list screen. Your options are Work, Home, Fax, Other, E-mail,
Main, Pager, and Mobile. The identifying letters W, H, F, O, E, M, or P
appear next to the record in the Address list, depending on which
information is displayed.
If the field contains textual information, such as an e-mail address or
web site URL, the identifying letter could be confusing. The new
feature prevents this confusion, so if the E-mail or Other fields end in
a letter, the identifying letters are not displayed.
