NokiCont users' guide

Thanks for purchasing NokiCont, the hierarchical contact organizer for the Nokia 9210i/9290 Communicator.NokiCont was made for those people who work in a hierarchical organisation and want to see a graphic representation of their organisation. Usage scenarios - Somebody calls you and she is in your contacts list but you don't remember her department. While in a call you start NokiCont and make a find and realise that she is the vice-president of marketing. You immediately start to speak about the importance of marketing. - You wake up from a nightmare in which you've been the president of the sales department writing a report to the CEO. You run NokiCont find your department and count the difference of levels of your department and the sales department. You realise that you are seven layer lower than the president of sales. You fall asleep happily again having no responsibility of writing sales reports. - You are chatting with your friend. He starts to complain about his company's difficult organisational structure. You start NokiCont and show him the structure of your organisation (hiding the names of departments, not to disclose them) and explain him that you always know who is calling you. How to install - pro version: save the file nokicont.sis from your e-mail to your harddisk or memory card. - light version: click on the link of the light version on tridcomm.com save the file nokicont_light.zip to your hard disk or memory card - if you saved the install file to a PC, connect your communicator to the PC - find the file nokicont.sis or nokicont_light.zip, unzip it if it is a zip file - select the sis file and push the enter button - the installer will install NokiCont to the Extras application group Getting started In order to see the hierarchy of your organisation you have to: 1. make groups in your Contacts directory with at least one contact person in each group 2. read the groups into NokiCont 3. arrange your groups into a hierarchy in NokiCont. Let's see these steps in more detail: 1. Creating groups 1.1 Push the Contacts button of your Communicator

1.2 Push Ctrl+Shift+N or push the Menu button and select New Group from the File menu

1.3 Write a name to the field Group name

1.4 Push the button Add member on the right side 1.5 Select a member from the list

1.6 Push the button Add on the right side. A member is added to the group. Repeat step 1.5 and 1.6 as many times as it is needed. 1.7 Press the button Done on the right side of the create group screen. You have a group with members. Repeat 1.1 - 1.7 for each group you want to create. 2. Reading in groups Start NokiCont from Extras if it is not running. Press Ctrl-C or press the Menu button and select 'update from contacts' from the File menu. Whenever you make changes in your Contacts then you should update NokiCont's data but it is not necessary to do it after each change of the Contacts directory. It is better to 'gather' several changes to Contacts and then update to NokiCont because the reading in process is slow.NokiCont stores the group names and group member names separately from the Contacts directory in its own database in order to start faster and to store the relations of groups. 3. Arranging groups When you start NokiCont at the first time you will see a keybar and an empty screen. Press Ctrl-C to get your groups. NokiCont starts to read your contacts one by one and takes only those contacts which belong to a group.It also means that groups having zero members are not taken. After the contacts with groups were read you see your groups represented by rectangles arranged in one row. It means that all groups are on the top level in the organisation.

If you want to have a group belong under an other group you have to select the subordinate group and push letter p (meaning parent). A red p letter appears above the selected group showing that you are in the 'set parent' mode.

Then select its parent group by using the arrow key

and push the letter p again. The dependent group will go one level lower and a connection will be made between the parent group and the child group.

The horizontal position of the group is not changed only the vertical position. If you want to move a child group to the top level again then select the child group and push the letter p twice. If you select a group and push the Esc button then the selected group becomes unselected. If you select a group and push the letter p to set the group's parent and you change your mind then push the Esc button so the red p letter disappears meaning that you left the 'set parent' mode. To select a group you have to use the arrow keys or push Ctrl+Menu and select the Pointer menuitem (lowest item) from the appearing menu.

Then move the pointer inside a rectangle of a group and press enter.

To have the pointer disappeared push Ctrl+Menu and select the Pointer menuitem from the appearing menu.

The menuitem becomes unchecked and the pointer disappears. To move a group horizontally select the group then push and hold down the Ctrl key and move the group with the arrow key. You can move a group left or right only. If you want to move a group up or down you should use the 'set parent' mode described above. If you hold down the Shift key too while moving a group then all the dependant groups will move together with the group moved (Ctrl+Shift+arrows). If you want to move all the groups together then press and hold down the Shift key and use the arrows. This time you can move them up or down or left or right. If you want to take a closer look at a group then push the letter a and you zoom into to the groups.

If you want to have a bird's view of your groups then push the letter z to zoom out from your groups. If you want to see all of your groups fitted into the screen then press Ctrl+a.

If for some reason you messed up the layout of the groups and want to have the groups arranged automatically without overlappings then select a group and press Ctrl+r. All the groups being under the group selected will be rearranged. If you want all the groups be rearranged then select the topmost group and press Ctrl+r.
