Step 7: Saving an Existing File
In this step, you will learn how to save to the hard disk of your PC the changes
that you made to the existing file.
Now that you are done modifying the cards in the sample.dex file, you must
save your changes to disk. Select 
Save from the File menu. This procedure
saves the changes you made to sample.dex to the hard disk of your PC.
Step 8: Creating a New AT&TCall File
In this step, you will create a new AT&TCall file. New files are empty (that is,
they have no cards in the bank) and untitled. You will use this new file to learn
how to customize the labels of the card display in a file (Step 9).
To create a new AT&TCall file, select New from the File menu. An untitled,
empty AT&TCall file appears. This file is empty and displays a blank card.
Step 9: Customizing the Labels
In this step, you willl learn how to customize the labels of the card display of
the new file you created in Step 8.
When you initially access a new AT&TCall file, the system displays the default
labels for the cards (for example, Last:, First:, Title:, and Company:).
However, you can change these labels at anytime, enabling you to create
custom templates for the cards in your AT&TCall files. Whatever changes you
make to the labels apply only to the cards in the AT&TCall file in which you are
working. As a result you can have AT&TCall files with different labels on their
cards. However, all the cards in the file have the same labels.

To customize the labels, perform the following steps:
1.Select Edit Labels. . . from the Setup menu.
The Edit Labels dialog box appears.

Step 10: Programming a Quick Dial
In this step, you will learn how to program a Quick Dial in the new AT&TCall
file that you created.
AT&TCall enables you to program Quick Dials for each AT&TCall file. Quick
Dials consist of two components: a Label button and a Dial button. The Label
button displays information you want to be displayed on the button (for
example, the person’s name). The Dial button dials the phone number you
4-32

specified on the related card. AT&TCall Quick Dials act the same way as
autodial buttons on your telephone.
The card bank in this new AT&TCall window is empty. Since a Quick Dial dials
the phone number from a specified card, you must create a card before you
can program a Quick Dial.
To create a card, perform the following steps:
1.Select the New Card button.
The New Card window appears.
2.Fill out the card for someone you know. Make sure you enter a
telephone number for the person.
When entering the telephone number, specify whether the call is going
to be an outside call or an intercom call. Clicking on the button in the
phone number fields toggles between intercom and outside calls. Make
sure you enter the number the same way as you would when you are
dialing it from your telephone.
3.When finished, select the Add Card button.
The new card is displayed.
After creating a card, you can program the phone number for that card to a
Quick Dial. To program a Quick Dial, perform the following steps:
1.Press and hold down [ SHIFT ] and click on a Label button of a Quick Dial.
The Create Quick Dial dialog box appears, displaying the label that will
appear on the Quick Dial Label button and the telephone number that
the Quick Dial will dial. You may modify the label to make it more
descriptive to you and select the option button of the phone number that
you want this Quick Dial to dial (if more than one telephone number is
available).

When programming Quick Dials, you may want to modify the labels. For
example, suppose you want to program a Quick Dial for a friend’s office
telephone number, and also program a Quick Dial for that person’s
home telephone number. If you do not modify the Label buttons when
programming these Quick Dials, you will have two Quick Dials that have
the same labels, but dial different telephone numbers. By looking at the
Label buttons of these Quick Dials, you will be unable to determine
which Quick Dial dials the office telephone number, and which Quick
4-34 
						

							Using AT&TCall
Dial dials the home telephone number. In this case, it would make
sense to include terms such as Home or Office in the labels to
differentiate what each of the Quick Dials will dial.
2.When finished, select the OK button.
The Create Quick Dial dialog box closes, and the label appears on the
Label button of the Quick Dial.
To make a call from this Quick Dial, perform the following steps:

Step 11: Saving a New File
In this step, you will learn how to save the new file to the hard disk of your PC.
To save this new file to disk, perform the following steps:
1.Select Save As. . . from the File menu.
The Save As dialog box appears.
2.
Enter 
trial in the File Name box.
/NOTE:
AT&TCall automatically adds the .dex suffix to the file name you
enter. If you prefer, you may enter another suffix. However, it is
recommended that you use the .dex default to make it easier to
identify and load AT&TCall files.
3.
Select the OK button.
The Save As dialog box disappears, and AT&TCall-TRIAL.DEX
appears in the title bar of the AT&TCall window.
Step 12: Exiting AT&TCall

Helpful Hints
Once you have completed the tutorial, refer to the following hints:
n
n
nKeep all AT&TCall files in the same directory.
By default AT&TCall saves and opens files from the directory in which
the PassageWay applications are installed. By keeping all the AT&TCall
files in the same directory, you can easily access your files.
Determine whether you need more than 20 Quick Dials.
AT&TCall enables you to program a maximum of 50 Quick Dials (two
sets of 25, which are accessed via either the Quick Shift button or the
Quick Shift option in the View menu). However, if you need no more
than 20 Quick Dials, you can set AT&TCall to display a maximum of 20
Quick Dials (two sets of 10, which are accessed via the 
Quick Shift
option in the View menu). See Changing the Number of Quick Dials
Displayed, described later in this chapter.
Administer a password for your AT&TCall files.
To prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing your files,
administer passwords for your AT&TCall files. See Protecting an
AT&TCall File with a Password, described later in this chapter.
