HUBlists

HUBkap's 4 HUBlists (People, Groups, Activities, Locations) allow you to easily organize and manage all of the Who, What, and Where information you use on a regular basis. The information you add and name to each of the HUBlists is stored in list form as a HUBlist Item, which can then be used to create events and communicate information with your contacts.

HUBlist Features
Each of the 4 HUBlists offer the following features:

The "+" Add Button
Located at the right of each HUBlist title bar is a "+" add button. Clicking this button will allow you to create a new list item for that particular HUBlist.
Once you have clicked a "+" add button, a blank detail window will open up. Simply fill in the blank fields provided and click the detail window's "save" button to create your new HUBlist Item.

To learn more about about editing and adding to a HUBlist Item, please refer to the Editing a HUBlist Item section below.
Navigation Arrows
Use the small black navigation arrow buttons located at both the top and bottom of each HUBlist, to scroll through the listed Items you have created. Simply click on the arrow in the direction you wish to scroll in, and HUBkap will reveal the HUBlist Items that cannot all fit in the HUBlist screen area at the same time.
The "Search" Field
Each HUBlist provides you with a text input field, positioned at the bottom, that can be used as a search field to search the HUBlist for Items that match what you type in.
As soon as you start to type a word or name into one of the HUBlist's text input fields, HUBkap will begin to search through that HUBlist and filter and display only the Items that start with the letters that you type in. This functionality is provided to help you quickly search through your HUBlists for Items that the current HUBlist may not be able to display in the visible HUBlist area due to the size of your screen.

Interacting with HUBlist Items
HUBlist Items have been developed to simplify how you interact with your information. You can interact with these Items in the following ways:

Editing HUBlist Items
To edit the information associated with a HUblist Item, double click the Item name. Once double clicked, the Item's detail window will open up centered over the calendar area, providing you with form fields to edit it's information. When you have completed making changes to the Item, click the green "save" button located at the bottom of the detail window. If you do not wish to make or save any changes after you have edited fields, click on the red "cancel" button to close the window.
Deleting a HUBlist Item
To delete a HUBlist Item, simply click & drag the Item from a HUBlist onto the Recycle Bin icon located at the bottom left of the HUBkap interface. To learn more about removing all interactive elements from the HUBkap screen area, please refer to Recycle Bin in the HUBtools & HUBnotes section of this help guide.
Activating HUBlist Items
HUBlist Items can be interacted with either individually, or with multiple other Items at the same time to create events. To use a HUBlist Item at the same time as other Items from different HUBlists, you must first activate the Item. To activate a HUBlist Item, simply single click the name of the Item you wish to use. When an Item has been activated, it will be highlighted in white text with a blue background.
Focusing
HUBkap remembers which HUBlist Items you use most often together when creating events. When you activate an Item within one of the HUBlists, by simply single clicking it, the other HUBlists will then re-sort the order of their Items by priority of what you most often use with the Item you activated.
Creating & Adding Information to an Event
To learn more about how HUBlist Items can be used to create and add information to events, please refer to Creating an Event in the HUBcal section of this help guide.
HUBnotes Communication
To learn more about how HUBlist Items can be used to communicate with your contacts and Groups, please refer to HUBnotes in the HUBtools & HUBnotes section of this help guide.

The 4 HUBlists
Although each HUBlist looks the same, they each offer a different means to save your information.

People HUBlist
Use the People HUBlist to aggregate all of the family members, friends, and colleagues that you communicate and interact with the most.
To help you aggregate your contacts in just one place, HUBkap provides you with the ability to import contact information directly into the People HUBlist from other communication applications and services such as Google, Yahoo!, iCal, and Outlook.

To learn more about importing contacts into the People HUBlist, please refer to Import Settings in the Account Settings section of this help guide.
- Adding a New Contact
  To add a new Contact to your HUBlist, click on the "+" add button in the People HUBlist title bar, then fill in your new contact's information in the Contact detail window that is provided.
- Sharing Contact Information and "Busy" Time
  HUBkap allows you to share your contact and "Busy Time" schedule information with contacts that also have HUBkap accounts.
  Located at the right of each Contact Item's detail window is a dynamic sharing form that will display the following information:
  - If the email address associated with the contact you are viewing does not already have a HUBkap account, an invitation button will appear, which when clicked will send a generic invitation to your contact's email address inviting him/her to join HUBkap.
  - If the contact you are viewing does have a HUBkap account, a "Share Request" button will appear which when clicked will send both a HUBNote email to your contact inviting him/her to share their contact and busy time information with you.
    To learn more about HUBkap's HUBNote communication system, please refer to HUBnotes in the HUBtools & HUBnotes section of this help guide.
  - If you have sent a share request to a contact and have not yet received an accept or decline response, HUBkap will display a "Pending Response..." status on your request.
  - If you are already currently sharing information with the contact you are viewing, HUBkap will display a button to "Remove Sharing" with that particular contact.
  You can also invite contacts to share information from the Sharing Settings form in Account Settings. To learn more about sharing your information with contacts in Account Settings, please refer to Sharing Settings in the Account Settings section of this help guide.
Groups HUBlist
Once you have added contacts to your People HUBlist, you can then use the Groups HUBlist to organize related contacts into Groups.

  To create a new Group to your HUBlist, click on the "+" add button in the Groups HUBlist title bar, then fill in a title for your new group in the Group detail window that is provided.
  
  You can then add contacts to your new Group in the following ways:
  - When a Group detail window is open, you can click & drag Contacts from your People HUBlist directly into the "Who" section of the Group detail window.
  - You can also add members to the Group when the Group detail window is closed, by clicking & dragging contacts from the People HUBlist directly onto the Group name in the list of Groups in which you would like to add the new members.
Once you have created Groups, each Group Item can be used like all other HUBlist Items to create and add information to events and HUBnotes.

When you begin to type in the name of a new activity in the Activity detail window's "Activity" name input field, HUBkap will suggest predefined activity names if one is available, in a blue box just underneath the input field as you type. If an activity name has been suggested that you would like to use, select the name with your mouse cursor and single click your mouse button.
