My Archers - General Tab

The screen shown below is the General Tab on the My Archers Dialog.

The general tab on the 'My Archers' dialog enables you to keep a track of an archers general details like their name, address and a photo of the archer. 

There are a number of features in this page to make your life easier and these include automatic formating of names and addresses to ensure correct character casing.  As an example if you type in "john" in the forename textbox then tab out of the box, the text will be automatically altered to "John".

You can use the tab button to navigate through all the input controls on the screen, this again makes data entry quicker.

If the archer is a junior, ensure that you enter their date of birth.  By selecting the 'Archer is a Junior' option, the drop down calendar will then be displayed for you to enter the date of birth.

If you enter a photo of the archer, this photo will be shown on some of the reports that come with Longbow 2008, but also on the main screen when the 'Thumbnail' view option is selected.

If you enter an email address in the corresponding box, then you will be able to email* this archer by clicking the Email button.  If the archer is added as a member of the club, they will be added to the email contacts when you selected to email current members.

You can also enter a memo/note against the archers record by entering text in the Notes field.

* Longbow 2008 will use your default email provider to send emails.  Emails will not be sent until the 'Send/Recieve' option on this application is used.  We may change this functionality in the future so that Longbow 2008 actually sends the mail but this feature is not currently included.
