Category Managment:

You may store the entries in various categories.  Category managment allows you to add, delete or select categories for display. Each entry may belong to up to four different categories. This categories are set when adding or editing any entry.  To filter entries according to which category they belong to, simply highlight the desired categories. Easydial will automatically list only those which match the selected categories.

Easydial will normally display all entries which match at least ONE selected category.  To switch so that Easydial will only list those entries matching ALL selected categories, simply check the box "Match all selected categories."

Easydial normally does not recall selected categories on startup. However, if you  check the box "Recall categories upon startup," Easydial will filter entries according to the last selected categories each time you start it.

To reset all selected categories, press Reset.  This does not delete entries, simply clears selected categories.

When deleting categories, Easydial will then remove that category from the list and from all entries that use that category.
