Introduction to S K Enterprises' Contact Manager

The Contact Manager is designed to provide users with real-time ability to manage their contacts. Contact Manager is ideal for managing correpsondence and telephone contacts. Users are able to record specific information about the contact, the date and time of the contact, and notes about the contact.

The Contact Manager display contains four panels. The top left panel is the main menu for the Contact Manager. It contains the following:

• A "Clear Form" button. Used to clear all of the input fields on the panel.
• An "Add Task" button, which opens the task input screen in the lower left panel and allows the user to enter a task (based on the contact) in Task Manager for any User ID.
• A "Manage Contacts" button, which opens the "Contact Manager Page" in the lower left panel. The "Contact Manager Page" will be discussed in more detail below, but, briefly, it allows the user to delete individual or multiple contacts, and to cut-and-paste contacts into other programs.
• User ID (of the user being contacted)
• Last Name
• First Name
• Phone Number
• Date (yyyy-mm-dd format)
• Hour
• Minute
• P.M. checkbox
• Message text
• "Show Contacts" option, which allows the user to control which contacts are displayed in the lower left panel. Options are "All", "One Week", "One Month" and for a particular "Last Name".
• A "Send E-mail Notice?" checkbox that will result in an e-mail being sent to the subject user with the details of the contact
• An "Add Contact Info. to Address Book" checkbox that will result in the contact information being added to the subject user's address book
• A "Submit Action" button.
• A "Search Resume Bank for Current Contact" section that allows the user to search the Resume Bank for the name of the contact.

The lower left panel initially displays the user's contacts (the user being the user currently logged on using the CMS). All contacts are displayed and are sorted from newest to oldest. As noted above, the contact display list can be modified for date or contact last name. When the "Manage Contacts" button is clicked in the upper left panel, the "Contact Manager Page" is displayed in the lower left panel (in place of the contact list). This screen allows the user to delete existing contacts, which can be done individually or in groups by date ("Older than One Day", "Older than One Week", "Older than One Month", or "Older than the Following Date (yyyy-mm-dd)". Finally, all of the user's contacts are displayed in a textbox, which the user can use to cut-and-paste contacts into another application.

The upper right panel displays the current user's current month calendar. Clicking on a calendar day will open, in the lower left panel, the user's schedule for that day, which also allows an entry to be placed on any user's calendar for that day. The bottom right panel contains a User ID textbox and a year-month drop-down list providing the user greater flexibility for displaying the calendar month in the upper right panel. The user can select to view any other user's calendar for any month, which allows the current user the ability to add entries to another user's calendar based upon the current contact.
