Creating Your Own Cards
Creating new cards is accomplished by selecting ‘New Card’ from the Menu menu. You are then prompted to select a card type to be used as a template. Developer One has provided over 40 different templates to choose from.

One of new features of Pro 2005, is the ability to add up to 10 file attachments to a card. The attachments can basically be anything – from a document to a spreadsheet or a sound file.

Each card can also be customized (available from the Menu/Customize menu item when in Card view) with its own:
- icon;
- text size;
- background or data colour;
- field names;
- show/hide passwords and PINs;
- background image;
- sound to be played when the card is viewed.

When I first heard about the sound files (.wav’s) I thought “Why would I want a song or sound played when I opened a card?” After thinking about it, however, this could be useful in situations when an audio-prompt of a password, PIN or other information is preferable (e.g. pronunciation of contact’s name, if it’s in a foreign language or they have a particular way they prefer).
