Exploring the Contact Type Tree
The Contact.mtt type tree contains data definitions for the data objects in the
FullContact.txt input file. The Contact.mtt type tree is a file that is created and
saved using the commands on the File menu in the Type Designer. Type tree files
have a file name extension of .mtt. The full path of the Contact.mtt type tree file
appears on the title bar of the Type Designer.
A type tree defines the data definitions, containment, and properties of the data
objects. The data object that represents the entire file of contact records is the
ContactFile group type. The data object that represents the contact records
contained in the file is the Contact group type. Contact is a component of
ContactFile.
