If you wantto add notes to the card, write the information onto the note below thename card.3.3	Search ViewThe search window includes all the information normally included in theNames overview. In addition, it includes a search engine that makes iteasy to find names. For more information on the search engine, pleaserefer to Chapter 4.3.4	All InfoThe All Info screen is similar to the normal All Info screen, except forfive new enhancements: the magnifying glass, the Date/Time bar, the Cardbutton, the tag button and the enhanced folder tab. These enhancementsare identical to the enhancements in the Super Names card view, and areexplained in Section 3.1.3.5	Small ViewAll of the previous views were shown in the Full View mode. You can alsoshrink the Names card down to the Small View. It is almost identical tothe Super Names Card View, only smaller.

It is similar to the normal Namesoverview, but it includes a number of new features as well.3.6.1	Search Button Tapping on the search button brings up the searchengineÕs letter boxes.

One is the Search view. The second is the overview.

You can enter letters with either thekeyboard, or by writing them into the spaces. You can enter an entirename (up to six letters), or just the first letter or letters. If, forexample, you enter an ÒsÓ into the first space, Super Names shows youall of the names that begin with Òs.Ó You set whether Super Names looksfor first names, last names, or companies using the default pickerexplained in section 4.2.1.

Once the letter boxes are appear, enter the lettersfor which you wish to search.

To  create tagsand attach them to Names, follow the procedure detailed below.  When youtap on the Tags button, a screen appears that contains a number ofchoices for the Name.5.1.1	Assigning Tags The upper section  contains tags that you havecreated. If any of the tags have a check next to them, then they areassigned to that particular Name. To attach a tag to a Name, just tap onthe tag you wish to attach, and a check mark will appear. To remove atag from a Name, reverse the process by tapping on a checked tag to makethe check mark disappear.5.1.2	Clearing Tags The last section lets you clear or edit tags.Choosing the Clear Tag option removes all tags associated with thecurrent Name.5.1.3	Editing tags Edit tags lets you change and remove individualtags, or create new ones. When you tap on this, the Name Card Screen appears with each of your tags listed.If you tap on one of your current tags, you have the option of renamingor removing the tag.To rename a tag, replace the old name with the new one. To remove thetag from the list, tap the remove button. Tapping the New button letsyou name a new tag. Tapping Remove removes the newly created tag beforeit reaches the list.5.2	FiltersSuper Names lets you design your own filters to speed your searchesthrough your names. To understand how filters work, start by tapping onthe folder tab. When the folder tab is tapped, youÕll see a list of allthe folders on the Newton. In many ways, filters work just like theNewtonÕs folders. You start with the option All Names, which displaysall of the names in the Names file. To help you organize your names, youcan files them different places, such as Business, or Personal. Then,when you open a folder, you donÕt have to look through all of your namesat once, but only the ones that are filed together in the same folder.Filters work much the same way. They limit the names you are searchingthrough, so you can find what you need faster. They not only limitsearches by what folder a Name is filed under, but they can also searchby any tags that are attached to a name.When you set up a filter, you go through the following steps.  First,you need to select the Edit Filters choice under the Folder Tab, and theEdit Filters window will appear.When you are working in the Edit filters window, you first need to namethe filter. If you do not want to work with an existing filter, you maychoose to start a new filter by tapping the New button. You can alsojump between the different filters on your Newton by selecting thefilter you wish to view with the Filter Name picker. To enter a new namefor the filter, tap the Rename button.Once you have selected the filter with which you are working, you needto define the filterÕs characteristics. When defining thecharacteristics of the filter, there are two parts of the definition. The first part gives you the following choices:  are filed in, are notfiled in, and can be filed in.The second part of the definition is where you set what folders or tagsare included. You may also have more than one definition in the samefilter, to further limit the search.As an example, say you want to search for names filed under Personal.You can do several different things. First, you can just go to theFolders Tab and select Personal. A second way would be to use a filter.You would select a new filter, and give it a name. Then, you would setthe definition to Are filed in Personal. Close the window and tap on thefolder tab. Select the filter, and it will show all the names inPersonal.Filters are more powerful when combined with Tags. You can place tags onany number of names, in any folder. Say for example, you tag names witha tag called Tag 1. You then place some names in the Business folder,some in the Personal folder, and leave some unfiled. You can then createa filter with the definition of Are tagged with Tag 1. This filter thenwill find all names with Tag 1. .You can also further limit the search by adding a second definition.Say, for example, you only want the names that are tagged with Tag 1that are not in the Business folder. You would then add a second linethe filter by tapping More Choices. You decide to set the second line tosay Are not filed in Business. This filter then returns all the namesthat are tagged with Tag 1, and are not in the Business folder.You can remove a filter from the Newton at any time with the Removebutton.One last way to set up filters is to use the Can Be choice in thedefinition line. Can Be is used to have a filter search through multiplefolders. It is especially useful because a name can only be filed underone folder. Say that you want to search for all Names filed underBusiness or Personal. Setting up the filter with Are filed underPersonal and Are filed under Business wonÕt show any names. This isbecause it tells the filter to show all the names filed in both theBusiness and Personal folders. Because a Name can only be filed in onefolder at a time, the filter shows no Names. Set the filter to Can Befiled under Personal and Can Be filed under Business, and it shows allthe names in both folders. 6	Super Names PreferencesSuper Names has four sets of preferences that make it easy to fine tunethe program to you needs.6.1	FormatsThe Formats preference lets you choose the format of phone numbers,names, and companies. There is a picker for each of them. Tap on thepicker for either phone format, name format, or company format, andselect the format that you wish to use.6.2	FontsThe fonts preference lets you set the font for both main and secondaryfonts.  Using the pickers, you can set the font, style, and size. Themain font is used for the names in the overview. The secondary font isused for the phone number.6.3	MiscellaneousThe miscellaneous preferences lets you control a variety of options.Check the box next to an option to included it. Using the Open to Folderpicker, you set which folder Super Names uses when you open the Namesfile.The Update button is also included in the Miscellaneous preferences. Youonly need to use this button when you are updating Super Names from anolder version. Tap it as the last step in the updating process.6.4	NamesThe Names preference lets you decide whether or not to show lines in thecard notes. Check this option if you want to have lines in your notes. 		7 Do Not Freeze Super Names	One last important piece of information about Super Names is that you should not freeze Super Names.
