The structure of this manual is as follows. Chapter The structure of this documentation is as follows. The section on `Getting Started <getting_started.html>`_ provides information on the PyQSO installation process through to creating a new logbook (or opening an existing one). The `Log Management <log_management.html>`_ section explains how to create a log in the logbook, as well as the basic operations that users can perform with existing logs, such as printing, importing from/exporting to ADIF format, and sorting. The `Record Management <record_management.html>`_ section deals with the bottom layer of the three-tier model - the creation, deletion, and modification of QSO records in a log. The `Toolbox <toolbox.html>`_ section introduces the PyQSO toolbox which contains three tools that are useful to amateur radio operators: a DX cluster, a grey line plotter, and an awards progress tracker. Finally, the `Preferences <preferences.html>`_ section explains how users can set up Hamlib support and show/hide various fields in a log, along with several other user preferences that can be set via the Preferences dialog window.
