# 1.2. Editing View

This view is used to add or change the details for a card. It has four tab pages; Person, Telephone, Address and Birthday.

The Person tab page is where you enter the person's name and Email and Talk addresses and any associated URLs. Whatever you enter in the Formatted name: text box will appear as the entry's name in the Toolbar Drop Down list and at the top left of the card. If you do not enter anything in the Formatted name: text tox then Kab will automatically generate a formatted name such as "Holmes, Sherlock".

The Telephone tab page is, obviously, where you enter the telephone number(s).

The Addresses tab page lets you enter one or more addresses for this entry.

1. For each address you want to enter, click on the Add button. It will display a drop down list with one blank entry plus any address types you have set up with the Edit->Configure this file... option. Choose one and it will appear in the Headline: text box where you can edit it if required.

2. Then fill in the address details.

3. Pressing the Insinuation... button brings up another dialog box where you can enter details of any organisation that the person works for and his position within it. However, the current version of Kab does not display this information in the Business Card view.

The Birthday tab page is where you select a significant date to appear at the top right of the card view. It will only appear if you have checked the I know this persons birthday: box.

| You will probably need to experiment with your entries in the Person and Addresses tab pages to get the kind of result you want in the Card view.
