Categorising your contacts

DreamConnect 3 is the first contacts application on Symbian smartphones that allows you to categorise your contacts in a hierarchy, which better reflects the real life relationships contained in your contact database.

Hierarchical categories are a great way to categorise contacts both generally and specifically. This tutorial will demonstrate how set up hierarchical categories quickly and accurately using other tools in DreamConnect 3, such as smart find.

1. Set up your hierarchical categories.

2. Do a Smart Find.

This Smart Find is simply to find every contact that has the company field that contains the search string "aapt" (case sensitive). This is just an example, and Smart Find can be used to narrow or widen the search to include other search results, depending on how many rules you add in the Smart Find.

3. Select all.

If there are a few exceptions, you can go through making the exceptions, then choose Invert marks to choose everything but those initially marked.

4. Add to

The Add to command (and remove from) make it very easy to move many contacts between categories.

5. Choose category whenever needed.

Note that these same categories are now also present in the Business category as well, without having to manually add them.
