10.4: Create a classification feature in Address Book
Authored by: fitzgunnar on Jan 03, '06 10:41:12AM

1. TC!!, it seems like both of us are right - some fields can be customized directly in the Settings, some cannot. 'Maiden Name' is one that cannot be customized in the Settings.

So 'Maiden Name' is perhaps not such a good choice. (Then again, it is positioned quite nicely on the card, above the phone numbers. 'Friend' is positioned between email address and postal address.)

2. The initial x in category labels: I first did not have any x, but used ordinary words. The problem is that the Smart Group search setting does not let me restrict the search to the particular field I use (Maiden Name), so I have to define the search as one in the entire card. And if I happen to use one of these categorization words in some card (for example in some comment), then that card will show up in the smart group for that category. If the categorization word is "xprivate", it is very unlikely that I will use that for any other purpose.

However, if you use one of the fields that *can* be specified in the Smart Group search definition, you can skip the x. Personally, I was not absolutely sure that I would not want to use any of those fields in any of my cards.
