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.
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.
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
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:
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.
