<title>Introduction</title>

<para>
&kaddressbook; is the main address book application for &kde;. It
enables you to manage your contacts efficient and comfortable.
Since it is based on the kabc library, it supports so called resources,
which can be used to load and save contacts at many different locations
like the local file system, but also in LDAP servers and SQL databases.
</para>

<para>
The user interface is similar to MS Outlook and it supports different views
for different representations of the contacts data.
Furthermore it provides an incremental search over all fields and a jump button
bar for quick access of single entries.
Since the underlying kabc library uses the vCard format (specified in RFC
2426) as default storage medium, &kaddressbook; mainly reflects the supported
entry fields in its graphical user interface.
</para>

<title>Getting Started</title>

<para>
After you have started &kaddressbook; (using the panel menu, or by typing
<command>kaddressbook</command> at the command prompt) the &kaddressbook; main window
shows up:</para>

<sect1 id="configure-resources">
<title>Configure Resources</title>
<para>&kaddressbook; can use multiple resources for loading and storing
its contacts. After starting &kaddressbook; the first time, you have
a default resource installed, that saves all contacts in a vCard file
under $HOME/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf. But you can add more resources,
by using the Resource Configure Dialog, which is available in
<application>kcontrol</application> under
<guilabel>KDE Components</guilabel>-><guilabel>Address Book</guilabel>:</para>

<para>When you click the <guibutton>Add...</guibutton> a dialog will appear,
where you can select the resource type. At the moment there are three types
available:</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>file</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>All contacts will be stored in one file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>dir</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>Every contact will be stored in its own file.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>ldap</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>All contacts will be stored on a LDAP server.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>net</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>All contacts will be stored in one file, which can be located
on a remote server (e.g. HTTP, WebDAV, FTP or Fish).</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>


<para>After selecting the type, another dialog appears, where you can
configure the resource specific settings.</para>
<para>The <guilabel>file</guilabel> and <guilabel>dir</guilabel> resource
supports different formats for storing the contacts:</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>vCard</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>The contacts will be stored in the vCard format, like
specified in RFC 2426.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>binary</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>The contacts will be stored in a binary format. That
increases performance during loading and saving, but is not portable like
the vCard format.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<para>&kaddressbook; needs a standard resource, where all contacts should be
saved if no other resource is specified. For this reason, after starting
&kaddressbook; the first time, there is already a resource available.
If you want to use another resource as standard resource, use the
<guibutton>Use as Standard</guibutton> for selecting it. The new standard
resource must be read-write able and active, otherwise you can't select it.
</para>

<sect1 id="managing-contacts">
<title>Managing Contacts</title>
<para>To create or edit contacts, &kaddressbook; offers a dialog, where you
can input all data, that are also available in a vCard.

<sect2 id="managing-contacts-automatic-nameparsing">
<title>Automatic Name Parsing</title>
<para>
&kaddressbook; tries to provide an easy name input by automatic name parsing.
For proper working it's sometimes necessary to add custom name prefixes, suffixes
or inclusions in the <link linkend="preferences-address-book-contact">configure dialog</link>.
Nevertheless no algorithm is perfect, and so it may happens, that it parses your
name input wrong. In this case, you can disable the automatic name parsing in
the name edit dialog, that is available by clicking the <guibutton>Name...</guibutton>
in the contact dialog. If you wish to disable the parsing for all new contacts,
disable automatic name parsing globally in the <link linkend="preferences-address-book-general">configure dialog</link>.
</para>
</sect2>

<sect2 id="managing-contacts-formattedname">
<title>Formatted Name</title>
<para>
The formatted name of a contact is used by other programs to represent it.
&kaddressbook; offers three predefined types of formatted names:
</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>SimpleName</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>&lt;given name&gt; &lt;family name&gt;</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>FullName</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>&lt;prefix&gt; &lt;given name&gt; &lt;additional name&gt;
&lt;family name&gt; &lt;suffix&gt;</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>ReverseName</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>&lt;family name&gt;, &lt;given name&gt;</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

<para>
If the above types doesn't fit your needs, you can select the
<guilabel>Custom</guilabel> name type, where you can add your own formatted
name. This configuration can be done in the name edit dialog. To specify a
default formatted name type for new contacts, use the <link linkend="preferences-address-book-contact">configure dialog</link>.
</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>

<sect1 id="using-views">
<title>Using Views</title>
<para>
In this version &kaddressbook; offers different so called views, that
represent the contacts in different ways:
</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Table View</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>All contacts are listed in a table. They can be sorted by
clicking at the column header of the table.
The columns of the table depend on the fields, which were selected in
the view configure dialog.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>

<varlistentry>
<term><guilabel>Icon View</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para>The contacts are listed as icons in a view. If the
contact contains a photo or logo, then it's used in the view, otherwise
an default icon is used.</para></listitem>

<para>The <guilabel>Selected Fields</guilabel> page offers you the possibility
to select what parts of a contact should be shown in the view. In the
<guilabel>Default Filter</guilabel> page you can setup what
<link linkend="using-filters">filter</link> should be used by the view.</para>
</sect1>

<sect1 id="using-filters">
<title>Using Filters</title>
<para>
You can setup filters in &kaddressbook;, which depend on the categories, a
contact belongs to. For example you can create a filter that matches all
contacts, which belongs to the categories 'Family' and 'Friends'. But
you can also an filter that matches all contacts, which belongs not to
these categories. To manage filters, use the filter configure dialog:
</para>

<para>
Filters can be used in views to reduce the number of represented contacts.
In the <link linkend="using-filters">view configure dialog</link> you can
specify what filter should be used by a view as default.
