Using Categories; Using Categories In Lists - Symbol SPT 1700 Series Product Reference Manual

Using Categories

Categories can help you group Address entries, To Do items or Memos for easy review. You
cannot, however, assign categories to Date Book events.
When you first create an entry, it is "Unfiled," which means it does not belong to any
particular category. You can leave an entry as Unfiled or assign it to a category at any time.
Either way, the entry is always available until you delete it. The category you choose is used
only for sorting and reviewing records, and does not affect the actual contents of the record.
Note: The use of categories is optional. You do not need to assign categories
to use SPT 1700 terminal applications.
To assign a category to an entry:
1. Tap a To Do item or Memo, or tap an Address Book entry then tap the Edit button
in the Address View screen.
2. Tap the Details button to open the Details dialog.
3. Tap the Category pick list to display a list of available categories.
4. Tap the category that you want to assign to the entry.
5. Tap the OK button to close the Details dialog and activate your setting.

Using Categories in Lists

After you assign categories to your entries, you can easily display lists of your entries by
category.
To use categories in a List screen:
1. Tap the category pick list in the upper-right corner of the List screen.
