Getting Started Getting help
  • Folio, the software we use to present the
    Yearbook information, comes with an extensive
    Help file and a tutorial.
  • While it is easy to begin working with the data
    immediately, referring to these Help files will
    enable you get more out of your use of the
    Yearbook -- with less effort and time.

29
Getting Started Using Folio HELP
  • Online help for Folio Bound Views is always
    available by using F1 (or clicking on the Help
    menu) to the Folio Help infobase.
  • Click Contents or Query, click on links, or
    scroll through text, to locate relevant help.
  • Some operations have Help buttons which take you
    directly to relevant Folio Help.
  • You can also print relevant records (see
    Printing and Exporting).
  • Supplementary help on Yearbook entries and field
    descriptions is available by clicking on Yearbook
    Plus Quick Reference

30
Getting Started Split screen tip
  • Folio Help is itself an infobase like others on
    the CD
  • You may find it useful to use the Tile function
    of the Windows Desktop to have the Yearbook
    infobase open in parallel (split screen) with the
    Help or Tutorial from Folio (see example)
  • Tiling is also an excellent way to benefit from
    the Contents index for each infobase. This may be
    opened in one window in parallel (split screen)
    with profile records (see example)

Searching an Infobase Options
  • Comment on Indexing
  • General Query template (also used for Folio Help)
  • Customized Search templates (adapted to each
    infobase)
  • Activating the search
  • Search refinement options
  • General Query (facilities for experienced users)

34
Searching Comment on Indexing
  • Every word of the text is indexed
  • Some punctuation characters are indexed as text.
    For example if you search for the word homme in
    the associations name you will find only one
    entry but if you search for lhomme than you will
    find several. This is because the l is indexed
    with the word homme.
  • Wildcards can be used to solve such problems. For
    example if you search for homme you will find
    everything that ends with homme like homme,
    lhomme, bonhomme.
  • Any word you add to text (in shadow mode) will
    immediately be indexed.

35
Searching General Query

    the same record.
  • The number of successful search results (hits)

    language of the infobase. Note that the English
    inobase can be searched from the French infobase
    template by using the Apply to All feature
  • These customized query templates differ from the
    general Folio Query template in that they are
    designed specifically for the data-sets included
    on the Yearbook Plus CD-ROM. See the following
    slides for a sample...
