LisaList helps you create and maintain all types of lists in a personal
database. With it you can easily and quickly sort through even the most
detailed lists – client histories, billing records, distribution lists –
for exactly the data you need.
Manipulating this data is easy too, because there’s no special command
language to learn. And LisaList shows you exactly how your list will print.
In less than 30 minutes you’ll be doing useful work with LisaList.
Lisa’s revolutionary Graphics Mouse Technology™ replaces confusing
computer commands with simple graphic images.
Graphics, together with the mouse, a simple selecting device, let you create,
revise, and print documents intuitively. And because basic operations work
the same way in all Lisa™ applications, you’ll learn other
applications in even less time.
LisaList makes it easy to create and maintain even the most complex lists.
Simple operations allow you to organize an existing list so you can quickly
find the information you need.
Organize information for quick reference and easy handling.
 |  |  | Data is entered directly into the list – there is no special command language to learn.
|
| | | Changes made to the list are automatically integrated into the format and instantly shown.
|
|  |
Customize lists for added impact.
| | | Lists may contain as many as 100 columns.
|
| | | Each column may be assigned one of eight data types, such as text, zip code, money,
or telephone numbers.
|
| |
Search and sort complex lists in seconds.
| | | Sort lists by information in one or more columns.
|
| | | Find all records that match certain criteria, such as people
hired before 01/04/82.
|
| |
Create many different reports from one master list.
| | | Display or print individual columns.
|
| | | Change the order in which columns appear on the report.
|
| | | Change the format, name, or typestyles of the report.
|
| |
Modify lists easily to suit your specific needs.
| | | Add or remove columns at any time.
|
| | | Temporarily “hide” columns so they’re not displayed.
|
| | | Change display formats without re-entering the data.
|
| |
Preserve the integrity of your data.
| | | Upon entry, data is automatically checked against the chosen data
type for consistency.
|
| | | Built-in file-recovery mechanisms protect data from power fluctuations
and media failures.
|
| |
What you see on the screen is exactly what you get on the printed page.
| | | Apple’s high-resolution Dot Matrix and Daisy Wheel Printers both
produce LisaList documents that are suitable for reports or for
copying onto transparencies.
|
| |
This is a typical LisaList worksheet. “Name” the
appropriate columns, then enter your information into the columns and
rows. You can revise or change the list’s format with simple
selections from the menu bar.
Menu Bar All LisaList functions are selected from the
menu bar. To print a document, for example, just move the mouse
and select PRINT from the menu. Once printing is under way, you
may continue working with Lisa, either in the same document, or in
another application.
Mouse/Pointer The mouse is a palm-size device that
controls Lisa’s pointer. It replaces all confusing special function
keys and commands. The mouse is connected to Lisa by a thin cable.
When you move the mouse, Lisa’s pointer matches the movement on the screen.
Desktop Manager The Desktop Manager uses graphic symbols
such as these to coordinate all the system’s operations. For
example, to work on a document, simply use the mouse to select an
existing document or create a new one. When you’re finished, use
the mouse to put the document into a folder. The Desktop Manager also
enables you to work with more than one document at a time.
Field A field is formed by the intersection of a
row and a column. Data entered into a list appears in the specific
field and in the status panel.
LisaWrite More than one Lisa document may be on the screen at
one time. To move the contents of any individual field from LisaList
to LisaWrite, for example, simply use the mouse to select COPY
from the EDIT menu. When you’re ready to transfer the information
into another document, select PASTE and your data is transferred –
you don’t even have to touch the keyboard.
Status Panel Data that appears in a selected field
also appears in the status panel. LisaList enables you to preset
the column width to display only some of the data within a column.
In that case, the status panel will show you the entire contents
of the field to which the pointer points.
Columns and Rows Rows may contain as many as 990
characters (letters, numbers, spaces) and may be divided into
100 columns of varying width. A list may contain approximately
600,000 characters (e.g., 10.000 rows of 60 characters each, or
6,000 rows of 100 characters).
Scrolling To view another part of your LisaList
document, vertically or horizontally, simply use the mouse to
select the arrows or pages in the comers of the document. Similarly,
to stretch or contract the document, use the mouse to move the
box at the bottom right-hand corner.
Built-in Quality Control
| | | You may designate any one of eight data types (text, number, date, time,
zip code, phone number, social security number, and money) for each column.
|
| | | LisaList automatically checks data entered into a column for consistency
with that column’s data type-and warns of any inconsistencies.
|
| | | A built-in file-recovery mechanism helps LisaList retrieve lost portions
of a list in the event of a power fluctuation or media failure.
|
| |
Create and Edit Lists Easily
| | | LisaList requires no special command language.
|
| | | All entries to a list are automatically formatted.
|
| | | The effect of any change you make to a list immediately appears on the screen.
|
| | | Lists may contain up to 100 columns, which can be added or removed at any time.
|
| | | Column width may be changed at any time.
|
| | | The name of a column may be up to 120 characters in length and may be
changed at any time.
|
| | | Columns may be assigned one of eight data types.
|
| | | You may select one of several display formats for each data type and change
the display format without reentering data.
|
| |
Search and Sort Even the Most Complex Lists
| | | Search criteria are specified by simply filling in a table.
|
| | | Search criteria may be specified for one or more columns.
|
| | | Comparisons (e.g., before 11/1/81; more than $100) may be specified in
the search criteria.
|
| | | Rows can be sorted or arranged in ascending or descending order by the
contents of one or more columns.
|
| |
Create Customized Reports
| | | Individual columns or rows may be specified for display or printing.
|
| | | Column order can be changed within the list.
|
| | | Lists may be printed in one of several typestyles and sizes.
|
| | | Lists are printed exactly as they are displayed.
|
| | | Columns can be temporarily “hidden” so they will not be displayed or printed.
|

List protects you from inadvertently entering the wrong type of
data into a particular column. Here, an “incorrect” month was
entered into a column designated for dates.
From an existing master list, you can create many different reports, each one tailored to meet
a different need.
The width of each column is flexible so you can set it as wide as necessary.
You can also change the column width at any time.
Selecting ASCENDING in the ROW ORDER menu enables you to see an alphabetical
listing of employees in the list. Choosing SHOW LIST IN ORDER from the LIST menu
displays your newly sorted list.
