MT-Organizer v1.2 - User Manual

Contact Groups

MT-Organizer allows you to group your contacts using three pre-defined group labels that you can assign to your contacts: Friends, Family, and Business. It also allows you to define your own contact groups. This page outlines procedures for:

• Adding contact groups
• Viewing contact groups
• Modifying contact groups
• Printing contact groups
• Deleting contact groups

You can create your own contact group definitions to assign to your contacts, and to use as a selector for viewing or printing contacts by group.

1. From the menu, click Tools then Options.
2. Select the Groups tab. (See Figure 4.1.)
3. Type a name in the Group name field.

5. Click OK.

This group name is now defined and will be available when adding, viewing, or printing contacts.

Note: Contacts without an assigned group name will appear with any group you select and will appear multiple times in the list. Correct this by assigning group names to all contacts.

Deleting contact groups  top

2. Select the Groups tab. (See Figure 4.1.)
3. Click the group name you want to delete.
4. Click OK.

Notes:

• Contacts assigned to this deleted group retain the deleted group label.
• However, since the group name no longer exists, there is no longer any way to select that deleted group to view or print.
