This is a visual tutorial for using the ID field in our personal
information manager software. Of course it's more than just a PIM, it
manages all of your personal information, online information and marketing/affiliate
information if you are a marketer too. Thats why we call it the Internet
Information Manager. It is also known as the Super Affiliate Software
package as well for those that do affiliate marketing.
We also have others such as students, writers, and IT techs studying for
certifications, that use it for research and study purposes, by saving
all their research and study information in the Projects, Websites and
Articles Tabs for quick reference.
OK, lets start at the Contacts Tab:
We entered the below record, and also entered several records in the other
Tabs which we will reference in this tutorial.

Image 1 - Contacts Tab
As shown above by the arrow, when you
click on the red Websites Control Label the below grid pops-up and shows
all of your Website Tab's records containing
the ID value "bud1".
When the control labels are red it indicates there are other records with
the same ID value in that specific Tab, in this case the Websites Tab.
Notice how the other labels are grey. The below records were records previously
entered from the Websites Tab and assigned the same "bud1" value
by the user and are websites owned by the person in the Contact Tab record
shown above (me).

Now we will double click on the first
record shown in the grid by the red arrow. Note "bud1 is the ID field
value in all of the records shown. Only the records with the same ID value
will be shown when clicking on the red control labels. (That's
what we call them.) This allows quick access to any records you have linked
or associated together with the ID field.
Once we double click it takes us to that record and opens it in the Websites
Tab as shown below. Please note the red "Contacts" control label
on the right.

Image 3 - Websites Tab
If we clicked the red "Contacts"
control label (red arrow) on the right, the below data-grid (image 4)
would pop-up with the one record for Gary Knuckles in the Contacts Tab
which has the same ID value of 'bud1".

However if we clicked the blue Websites control label (blue arrow in image
3) then the data-grid pops up showing the same records with only the same
ID as shown in image 2 above.
Now if we clicked the "Show All" shown above by the black arrow
(image 3), the below grid (image 5) pops up. It shows all the records
within the current Tab for easy browsing and access by double clicking.

By using the "Show All" or
the control labels you can easily view and jump to any record, plus easily
view and access those records you have linked together by using the ID
field.
We will be adding more tutorials. This is the first in the series.
