SupportCalls with Outlook makes use
of the different types of views as
described below:
Table/List view
All modules contain some version of
the Table view - a rectangle made up
of rows and columns. Some Outlook
menus also refer to this arrangement
as a List view. In either case, if
you create a new item (by adding a
new task to your Tasks List, for
example), a new row turns up in the
Table view. You see one row for each
task in the Table view. Other Table
view names start with the word By,
which means that items in the view
are grouped by a certain type of
information, such as entry type or
name of contact.
Icons view
Icons view is the simplest view -
just a bunch of icons with names
thrown together on-screen. The only
Icons views that come with Outlook
are for viewing notes and file
folders.
Timeline view
Timeline view shows you a set of
small icons arranged across the
screen. Icons higher on the screen
represent created items or tasks
that began earlier in the day. Icons
farther to the left were created on
an earlier date. The Timeline in the
Tasks module also draws a line that
represents the length of time needed
to perform a task if you specified
its starting and ending times.
Cards view
Cards view is designed for the
especially for the Contacts module,
but can be used for displaying
messages in non-contact folder also.
Each item gets its own little block
of information. Each little block
displays a little or a lot of
information about the item,
depending on what kind of card it
is. It is used by default in all
Contact folders.
Day/Week/Month view
Day/Week/Month view is designed
particularly for the calendar, but
can be used for displaying messages
in non-calendar folder also. Like a
Timeline view, this view adds Day,
Work Week, Week, and Month buttons
to the toolbar, enabling you to
switch between views easily. All
these views also display a monthly
calendar. You can click any date in
that calendar to switch your view to
that date.
