Linking Records (Zaurus Only)

As with the Zaurus, you can link a record in RuppLynx to another record in Contacts or Data files. Creating these links gives you one-click access to vital facts and phone numbers. For instance, after you enter an appointment, you can link that record to the Contact record containing the name, phone number and address of the person you are meeting.

How to Link a Record to a Contacts or Data File

1. From the Application, open the record you want to link.

2. Click on the Links menu and select Link to Contacts... or Link to Data Files...

3. The Link to Entries window will appear. Start by choosing the file that contains the record you wish to link (i.e. Contacts 1,2 or 3) from the menu at the upper left of the screen.

4. To speed your search of the record you need, you can choose the field by which the records are sorted. Simply click on the first field name box, and a menu of all the fields will appear. Select the field you want to search by. If you like, you can also change the other fields in the same way. You can also drag the field column separators to show more or less of a particular field. The indexed view can be scrolled left/right to show any fields that are not currently on display.

5. When you find the record(s) which you want linked, click the box to the left of each record.

How to Go to a Linked Record

When you view your records in index mode, a symbol will appear to the far right of each record that is linked, indicating whether the record is linked to a contact or data file. Click on the symbol to go to the linked record.

Breaking Links

From index mode, select the record from which you want to break all links. From the Links menu, select Break All Links and all links to the current record will be broken.
