Super Names adds powerful new features and an improved graphical interface to the built-in Address Book, enabling you to access and control your information more effectively.

Table 2 Comparison of Built-In Address Book Tasks and Super Names Tasks

After installing Super Names you can still use the built-in Address Book. If you choose to uninstall Super Names, the contact information that you entered remains in the built-in Address Book.

2.1. Name Cards and Fields

In Super Names, an Address Book entry is called a name card. The information on a name card is made up of sections called fields.

2.1.1. Standard Fields

A standard field on a name card has a matching counterpart in the built-in Address Book. You can edit standard fields in Super Names, the built-in Address Book, or a desktop address book. The standard fields are:

· First Name

· Last Name

· Company Name

· Job Title

· Phone Number/E-mail (5 fields)

· Address

· City

· State

· Zip Code

· Country

· Custom Fields (4 fields)

· Notes

2.1.2. Additional Fields

Super Names enables you to add an unlimited number of additional fields to each name card. Additional fields have no exact matching counterparts in the built-in Address Book. Examples of additional fields are:

Company Department
Daughter’s Birthday
Web Site
Additional Phone Number/E-mail

Additional fields can be viewed in the Notes section of the built-in Address Book. In a HotSync operation, additional fields are written into the Notes section of entries in the desktop address book.

10. Glossary

Term	Definition
Address Database	The database that stores all of the name cards. The built-in Address Book and Super Names share this database, so the changes made in one application will be reflected in the other. Perform a HotSync operation to synchronize the database.
A-Z Tabs	Small folder tabs at the top of the List that let you jump to alphabetic sections of the name card list. Each successive tap jumps to the next letter on the tab; tapping abc once goes to the A’s, twice to the B’s, and the third time to the C’s.
Built-In Address Book	The Address Book application that comes with your Palm Powered handheld. It is in read-only memory (ROM), and cannot be deleted.
Category	Name cards can be filed into 15 user-defined categories. View the All category to view all categories at once. You cannot file the same name card into multiple user-defined categories.
Default Fields	These are the standard fields available in the built-in Address Book. They include first and last name, company and title, five phone number/emails, address, city, state, zip, country, and four custom fields.
Folder Tabs	Folder tabs at the top of the List that let you jump to different name card categories.
Groups	Grouping together similar items in the List enables you to access certain information more quickly. Name cards can be grouped according to the contents of a specific field, such as Company.
Links	Links tie one record to another. You can link a name card to another name card, an appointment, a to-do task, or a memo. Whenever you view that name card, you’ll see the records to which it is linked.
List Window	This is a list of all your Addresses on your Palm. You can jump from here to the View window.
Menus	To access the menu, tap the menu bar or the menu button in the lower left corner of the screen:
Mini View	An area at the bottom the List that enables you to see the details of a name card without opening the View.
Name Card	The data record that holds all of the information about a contact: standard fields, additional fields, and links.
Right Field	This is the content of the right-hand column in the List window. The right field shows the contact’s phone number by default.
Search Box	Enables you to run a basic, filtered, or full-text search for information in the database.
Super Names Access™	This feature redirects operations from the built-in Address Book to Super Names. This enables built-in and third-party applications to jump directly to Super Names name cards, rather than to the address entries in the built-in Address book.
View Window	Shows detailed information about a name card.
