Navigation:  Places > Creating Places

When you select the Open or New button from the Places Toolbar or select the Actions | Open or Actions | New Menu actions, orchidmedia displays the Place Details Window for you to edit or create Places.

 

 

1. Type of Address - you can select the type of address, such as whether it is a home or business, and the Address details will change to reflect the address type.  For instance, a business address may require a department name, but a department name is not required for a home address.

 

2. Place Folder - use the drop down list of Place sub-folders to select where the Place will be stored in orchidmedia.

 

3. Place Name - type a name to identify the place.  The Place name field should be used to store the Company/Organization name, or if the address is a home address, it can be used as a description such as "Fred's place" which is better to search on later than a street number.

4 Address Fields

Address fields start with the Country/Region field, so that orchidmedia can present the correct number of address fields for different parts of the world. All known countries as of September 2006 are listed, although we have omitted some remote islands where it was difficult to assess whether a mailing service exists. Once you select a Country, the County/State/Province field will supply the appropriate values for the Country, and the international telephone code is supplied in the phone and fax fields (5).

The County/State/Province, City, and Postcode fields will vary according to the Country selected.

5. Address Phone and Fax - use the address Phone and Fax fields to store an individual phone and fax number for the address. We provide an International Dialling code based on the Country selection for your convenience.

6. Save / New - you can save the changes to the Place details, and create a new Place using the Save/New button (6).

7. Cancel - click on the Cancel button (7) to cancel any changes made, and close the Place Details window.

8. Save - click on the Save button (8) to save any changes made, and close the Place Details Window.
