Figure 7.2. Entering New Contact Information

Enter all important information, including name, title, private and business addresses, all phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and URLs, under the ‘General’ tab. If desired, assign the contact to a category that can later be used for filtering the address view. Select a standard category (Family, Friend, Business, Customer, or School) or create a new category.

The ‘Details’ tab allows you to enter some useful extra information, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and job-related data, and offers the possibility to add comments for this contact. Under the ‘Misc’ tab, you can add a picture or logo to the selected contact and specify the longitude and latitude of the contact's location.
