Address, Postcode and Bank solutions
OVERVIEW
Names & Numbers is a very powerful address lookup system, and there are many different ways to harness it. Typically, Names & Numbers can help in the following ways:
Rapid Address Entry
By entering a Postcode and a small part of a name or address, Names & Numbers can complete a full address - saving over 80% of keystrokes. With Robot
technology you can do this automatically from right within your application.
Telephone Caller Identification
By capturing the Caller Line Identity (CLI) data available from many modern telephone systems - or by typing in a known telephone number, Names & Numbers can identify most of its known businesses and many residents too - completing full addresses from little or no typing. By helping verify caller details, some organisations may also help cut down fraud.
Address Lookup & Verification
Most names, addresses and phone numbers can be found using a single, simple entry box - and Names & Numbers will work out what you are requesting and deliver the results. This means that tiny fragments of information can be converted into names and addresses with the minimum of effort.
Searching for Addresses
Names & Numbers has powerful and sophisticated extended searching facilities that can track down even very difficult or mis-spelled names or addresses. Search tools include 'Sounds Like', 'Spelled Like', and 'Family' searches - as well as allowing the use of 'Wildcards'.
Mailing List Building
Names & Numbers can search using a wide range of parameters - including Name or Address elements, geographical distances and industry SIC codes or Business Descriptions. Searches can then be exported for use in databases, ready for mail merge, or simply printed as mailing labels.
Nearest Feature
Names & Numbers has an inbuilt "Nearest" feature allowing you
to create and maintain lists of branch offices, regional centres or contacts,
then quickly determine which contact point is linearly nearest the postcode
you enter.
From the Task Bar, select Start - Programs - AFD Names & Numbers - Names & Numbers
Names & Numbers will display an information splash screen, then the Names & Numbers Main Window will be loaded. If you have used any Command Line Options, these may have customised the way in which Names & Numbers will load.
Most Names & Numbers operations take place from the Main Window, and the method of operating the program will be familiar to Windows users, as the controls conform to Windows standards.
The Main Window consists of the following parts:
Menu
Use the menu to store and retrieve settings, print labels, change editing and viewing options, insert addresses into other programs, use advanced features of the Cameo or Nearest Facility - or use the on-line Help system.
Find Box & Lookup
Most rapid address entry or address lookups can be carried out from this single box - enter your request and if it includes a postcode it will be looked up automatically. For complex lookup's click the Lookup Button.
Tabs
Seven Tabs allow you to enter more complex search requests - or view address data in different ways. Note that data will only appear on the Cameo tab if the optional CAMEO data license is in use.
Results List
Address lookup and search results are displayed in the list. Click on a result to see more information on one of the Tabs.
