Usage

School Records

The Main Form View is the 'home base' view of 4T School. The look and feel is very similar to the address list view of the Address application on the Palm Pilot. The activities are listed in alphabetical order by the description field of the account.

Creating a record

To create new record, press the 'New' button from the Main Form View. The Record Details View screen will appear where you can start inputting your information, you can change the label names by tapping on the drop down list of each label and selecting a new label. Enter the information in each field by tapping on the field to place the cursor and use the Graffiti input or Palm Pilot soft keyboard input to enter the account information. Use the drop down list box in the top right corner of the form to select a category for the record that you are currently editing. Edit the list of categories by selecting 'Edit Categories...' from the category drop down list. Tap on the 'Private' check box to identify the account as private. This will allow you to utilize the built-in Palm Pilot security feature and hide the record until the Palm Pilot security password has been entered. Once finished, tap the 'Done' button and the Main Form View will appear.

Viewing/Editing a record

To view/edit a record, select the record from the Main Form View by tapping on the name of the record. The Record Details View screen will appear with the information. View or edit the information as needed and then tap the 'Done' button when finished viewing the account and the Main Form View will reappear.

Deleting a record

To delete the record, tap on the record, from the Main Form View, to bring up the Record Details View, then tap the delete "Trash Can" icon. A dialog box will prompt you to ensure that you don't accidentally delete the wrong account.

The structure for this exported memo is:
NOTE: You can use one field or all fields. Only input the field and data that you need. Fields and lists

Import from Memopad

Importing from the Memopad is exactly the same as the export except for one thing, change the word Export to Import. The fields and the structure is exactly the same. As a matter of fact, the BEST way to insure no type-o's is to first export to Memopad, then edit the data and import back into 4T School.

The minimum requirements are; 1.) new memo named "4TSchool" 2.) First line of memo named "4TSchool" 3.) ANY one of the fields below.
