The Person tab page is where you enter the person's name and email and Talk addresses and any associated s. Whatever you enter in the Formatted name: text box will appear as the entry's name in the entry navigation list, the Toolbar Drop Down list and at the top left of the card. If you do not enter anything in the Formatted name: text box then will automatically generate a formatted name such as Holmes, Sherlock.

Then fill in the address details.
Pressing the Organization... button brings up another dialog box where you can enter details of any organization that the person works for and his position within it. However, the current version of does not display this information in the Business Card view.
The Birthday tab page is where you select a significant date to appear at the top right of the card view. It will only appear if you have checked the I know this person's birthday: box.
