The Profile tab holds key information needed
for both applicants and clients. Applicant and client profile records are distinguished only
by an (applicant) or (client) in the Profile Type Code box, because
information needed to profile an applicant is a mirror of information needed
to profile a client. This feature in Gopher greatly reduces the time required in moving to client/applicant information
on a minute to minute basis which is a typical scenario for
any recruiter. Your first task will be to bring into view a demonstration Profile
record.
- Move the mouse pointer to the tab that
is labeled Profile.
- Click the LEFT mouse button. This
selects the Profile tab and turns on List 1. Now you need to access
some records via a query.
- At the top of the screen, click
. This puts Gopher into the Query state and positions the
cursor in the first box of the Profile tab, which is First Name.
- Type C* in the First Name box.
Note: Be sure
to type the asterisk after the C.
- At the top of the screen, click
. The mouse pointer will turn, temporarily, into an hourglass while Gopher finds
(that is, queries) all profile records with a first name that begins with
C. When the query is complete, the screen is filled with data from the
first record in the query list. The number of records in the
query list is shown on the bottom left corner of the
screen.
At this point you will review field
definitions of the data in each box by putting the tab into the
Change state.
-
At the top of the screen click
to put the screen into the Change state.
-
The cursor is now on the First Name
box.
-
Position the mouse over the First Name
box. A short definition will appear in a pop-up window.
-
Position the mouse over any desired field in
order to view a short definition.
Note:
The Tab key
will move you forward one field and Shift + Tab will move you
backwards one field. To move directly to a desired field, click
its white box with the mouse.
-
After reviewing field definitions,
click
in its depressed state, to
cancel the Change state and leave the record unchanged.
Let’s do the same
thing but with a different tab and using the Add button instead of
the Change button.
-
Make sure that none of the buttons
(Add, Trash, Change or Find) are depressed. If one of them is
depressed, click the depressed one to turn it off.
-
With the LEFT mouse button, click the
tab labeled Position.
-
Click the
Add
button.
-
Repeat steps and above.
-
After reviewing field definitions,
click
in
its depressed state, to cancel the Add state.
