The Message Taker

TeleMagic's Message Taker is modeled on the phone message pads that have been in use in offices for many years. TeleMagic's Message Taker offers a number of advantages over these specialized notepads. Like the paper notepads, TeleMagic's Message Taker has a number of fields available for general information, like the caller's name and phone number. Most of these fields are optional, as they are on the paper notepads. Unlike paper notepads, TeleMagic's Message Taker is addressed by selecting the user from a drop-down list.

The Message Taker fills in the date and time fields automatically, and can accommodate messages of almost any length. Message Taker delivers the message for you, can page the recipient to let them know they have a message, and notify the sender that the message has been received. They are always legible, work with TeleMagic's Spell Check feature, and never get lost. They can be password protected, linked to contact records, and you'll never run out of them. Open the Message Taker by selecting Message Taker from the Office menu. Click the Create New Message button to begin editing the message.

The Notebook

The Notebook provides you with a secure means of jotting down notes, ideas, or any other sorts of information that you may want to save for future reference. One possible use would be a list of product codes that you need to access quickly. You might also use it to record ideas for new products and slogans that occur to you while on the phone with your clients.

Notebook notes can be either Personal or Database. You can think of it as two different notebooks: one that anyone with access to the database can access, the other that only you can open. RTF controls are available for you to format the appearance of your notes.

The notebook provides you with two indexes: Note ID and Description. This way, you can find, for example, the correct list or idea by using "product list", "marketing ideas", and so forth as your Note ID and indexing on the ID. There is also a browse view available from the Notebook toolbar that allows you to see your notes in table format. If you know the ID or Description, you can use the Go To Note feature by clicking the Go To Note button on the Notebook's toolbar.

To open the Notebook, select Notebook from the Office menu. In addition to using the browse and Go To features, you can scroll through your records using the arrow icons on the four corners of the Notebook. (If you are on the first or last record, two of the arrows icons will not be available.) To add a record, click the Add button. To edit an existing record, go to the record and click the Edit button.

Figure 2. Allocating resources, assigning multiple users to activities, linking activities to contacts, and scheduling recurring activities are all accomplished through the intuitive user interface.
