CardFile List

Back Top Prev Next Print

The CardFile List allows access to all types of cardfiles. By default, lists are named List1, List2, etc. however, names can be entered for the lists that clearly show what is being searched for, or what a list is displaying. This helps if there are multiple lists running at the same time.

 

A simple example of how powerful the list is: in the header of the list, select Contact Type Phone then enter the phone number in the Contact Type Value field. Run the list, and the cardfile containing that phone number will appear in the list.

info

The CardFile List can collate information from the card records in real time for cross reference, and also use archived data. Jim2 allows searches by any combination of cardfile type and their active/inactive status by ticking the relevant boxes.

 

There are two different styles of CardFile List:

List (showing the fields and checkboxes in the header).

Advanced List (tab on the footer), which adds the fields highlighted below.

The List tab with its fields and checkboxes is the default view. The Advanced List tab provides several more fields to search on. Within this screen, enter data into the following fields in any combination, then click Run to generate the CardFile List.

Using the above information fields, Jim2 produces a list in a format that can be sorted by dragging the column header of the list to the top of the list results table.
