10.4: Create a classification feature in Address Book
Authored by: jacobolus on Jan 06, '06 03:36:48AM

Personally, I use the "notes" field at the bottom, and enter things like "Family", or "School: Apple University", etc., and then build smart folders from that.

10.4: Create a classification feature in Address Book
Authored by: taxi on Jan 07, '06 12:18:53AM

I'm leaning more towards Smart Groups and Notes too.

Originally, I was co-opting the 'Related Names' field to reference other attributes, like coach or referee levels for members of my sporting club. But there is not a way to easily access this information from Smart Groups, wheras Referee:2 can be easily accessed.

Unfortunately, I can't get "All referees who are level 2 or above, and not coaches" very easily. Address Book can only have (all) or (any) matches, so you need to start using combinations of smart groups very quickly. Except that you can't seem to do this, either.

Note: I don't actually need to solve this problem - I just made it up as an example! :)

It is possible to add other fields to Address Book records, but I don't have the coding skill to write an application to do this!

(By this, I mean other fields that aren't co-opted like as listed above)
