1. Introduction

Infinity Book is a desktop application that provides Tech recruiters end-to-end support, from searching for candidates,to adding job postings and saving their resumes and interviews.

More importantly, IB is optimized for those who prefer to work with a desktop Command Line Interface (CLI) while still having the benefits of a Graphical User Interface (GUI). If you can type fast, IB can get your candidates management tasks done faster than traditional GUI apps.

Jump to the Section 3, “Quick Start” to get started. Enjoy!

2. About

This User Guide introduces a user to Infinity Book, provides set up instructions and details the features of the product. This document does not assume any prior technical knowledge, and the glossary explains any technical terms. Please check the FAQ section for frequent user issues.

To quickly set up Infinity Book and try out the features, jump to Section 3, “Quick Start”.

ℹ️	For information about implementation and architecture, please refer to the Developer Guide.

3. Quick Start

If you are a first time user, this section will help you get started with Infinity Book in 5 easy steps:

1. Ensure you have Java version 1.8.0_60 or later installed in your Computer. If you do not have Java installed, get it here.

   ℹ️	Having any Java 8 version is not enough. This app will not work with earlier versions of Java 8. Refer to Section 6, “FAQ” for instructions to check Java version.

2. Download the latest infinitybook.jar here.

3. Copy the file to the folder you want to use as the home folder for your Infinity Book.

4. Double-click the file to start the app. The GUI should appear in a few seconds.

   

   Figure 1. The User Interface.

Set up is now complete. You have launched Infinity Book. You should see the interface as shown in Figure 1.

Type your command in the command box and press Enter to execute it. Some examples are given below.

Typing help and pressing Enter will open the help window. Other basic example commands are shown here:

• list : lists all contacts

• addn/John Doe p/98765432 e/johnd@example.com a/John street, block 123, #01-01 : adds a contact named John Doe to the Infinity Book.

• delete3 : deletes the 3rd contact shown in the current list

• exit : exits the app

You can view the entire command list here.

ℹ️	The User Interface might appear mildly different for different versions of the product.

Refer to Section 5, “Features” for details of each command and for more commands.

4. Command Line

Infinity Book uses a command line interface that follows the command format given below. Auto-complete and auto-correct are optimised to assist in CLI usage as detailed in this section.

4.1. Command Format

• Command starts with a COMMAND WORD to specify the command you want to perform.

• Words prefixed with a dash (optional) are COMMAND OPTION e.g. in edit -add-tag t/TAG, -add-tag is a command option.

• Words in UPPER_CASE are the parameters to be supplied by the user e.g. in add n/NAME, NAME is a parameter which can be used as add n/John Doe.

• Items in square brackets are optional e.g n/NAME [t/TAG] can be used as n/John Doe t/friend or as n/John Doe.

• Items with …​ after them can be used multiple times including zero times e.g. [t/TAG]…​ can be used as   (i.e. 0 times), t/friend, t/friend t/family etc.

• Parameters can be in any order e.g. if the command specifies n/NAME p/PHONE_NUMBER, p/PHONE_NUMBER n/NAME is also acceptable.

4.2. Auto-complete and auto-correct

To enhance your experience with the Command Line Interface(CLI), Infinity Book comes with built in auto-correct and auto-complete. This section explains how you can use these features to speed up your CLI experience.

4.2.1. Auto-complete

Auto completes command words being typed into Infinity Book.

To auto-complete a command word:

1. Type in atleast the first character of your command word.

2. Press TAB until your desired command word appears in the command box.

ℹ️	Entered text must match (case sensitive) the start of the desired command. If no matches are available, no change is made to the input text.

Example:

• li + TAB : Completes command word to list.

• LI + TAB : Reports no completions found.

💡	Use TAB repeatedly to loop through the list as many times as you need.

4.2.2. Auto-correct

Auto correct spell checks command words being typed into Infinity Book.

To auto-correct a command word:

ℹ️	Entered text must be within one edit-distance of the desired command, by removal, addition or swapping of adjacent characters If no corrections are available, no change is made to the input text.

1. Type in a possibly incorrect version of the command word.

2. Press SPACE and watch the command word auto-corrected immediately.

💡	If a copy-pasted command may contain a spelling error in the command word, press SPACE to correct the command word without affecting the arguments entered.

Example:

• lsit + SPACE : Corrects command word to list.

• lit + SPACE : Corrects command word to list.

• liist + SPACE : Corrects command word to list.

• lllist + SPACE : Does not make any correction.

⚠️	While copy pasting commands with spelling errors, the SPACE key will not be available for use to insert spaces in the command while editing.

Format: edit -add-tag INDEX [t/TAG]…​

ℹ️

Each candidate: Can have any number (including zero) of tags. Cannot have duplicated tags. Tag name comparision is case sensitive, which means the list of tags of a candidate can be Java JAVA JAVa, for example, but cannot be JAVA JAVA. Cannot have tags with empty tag name. Ensure that the specified INDEX is a positive integer that is smaller or equal to the total number of candidates shown in the list.

⚠️	When you provide invalid tags, Infinity Book will ignore them. To verify, you can look at all tags shown under candidate’s name in the list.

Each report is identified with a Population Tag:

• Represented with the prefix pop/ followed by the tag name of the Population Tag. Example: pop/SEIntern.

• The name of Population Tag must be an alphanumeric string.

In the report, you will find statistics of the group of all candidates tagged with Population Tag:

• A bar chart showing all other tags owned by this group and number of owners for each tag.

• A pie chart illustrating the numerical proportion of each tag.

• A history panel listing statistics of this group at earlier points of time.

An example usage:

You are recruiting Software Engineering interns, and you want to keep track of the number of candidates in each stage: Screening, Interviewing, Offered, or Rejected. Given the a significant pool of applicants, this task is tedious, and our Report feature is a solution.

Using our Report with Population Tag SEIntern,

• To ensure your team keeps up with deadlines, you can monitor the whole recruiting pipeline using Report bar chart.

Figure 6. Bar chart in SEIntern report

Explanation: there are 11 candidates tagged with SEIntern in which 5 of them are tagged with Screening, 3 of them are tagged with Interviewing, 1 of them is tagged with Rejected, and 2 of them are tagged with Offered.

• To see the progress of your interns recruitment, you can view percentages of candidates in each stage using Report pie chart.
