An information card is a file that contains the contents of one catalog
record. Information cards are created by dragging a catalog record to the
desktop or to someplace other than another catalog window. They can also
be created from within a catalog using the Catalogs menu. Once an
information card has been created, it can be used in the same way as the
original catalog entry.
Information cards can be used for drag and drop mailing or for dropping
information to a catalog entry. A user could create an information card
for a frequently used mail address. Putting the information card on the
desktop allows the user to easily mail files and folders by dropping them
onto the information card.
Because information cards are portable, they can also be distributed as
enclosures in mail messages or put onto a floppy disk.
Information cards can be created from any catalog record, including those
found in PowerShare Catalogs, the AppleTalk catalog or personal catalogs.
