Import & Export Address Book

Import & Export Address Book > Import

Use this window to import contact information from a CSV formatted file. The process allows you to select which fields

(values) in the CSV file to import. Duplicate records—where all values of the record are identical to the existing record

found in the unit's Address Book— are not imported. After performing an Import, be sure to perform a "Save to Flash",

otherwise the new Address Book entries are lost after a system restart.

Note: CSV stands for comma separated values, a term that applies to the format of an address book. The CSV file to be

imported cannot have more than 10 fields (values) per record (line).

Import Address Book

Select the CSV File

Browse for the address file you want to use, and then click Upload. The window displays 'Please Wait while the CSV "File"

is Uploaded'. This window appears quickly (this is the actual upload of the file to the MultiModem iSMS Server). When the

transfer is complete the next window displays 'Please Wait while "CSV" is Uploaded'. This is displayed while the structure

and contents of the CSV file are analyzed. When the analysis is complete the following window appears. The following

window helps you select which Field/Values in the CSV file to use (import).

Choose Your Address Book Column Headings

Address Book Field and Field in the CSV

The four items in the Address Book Field column make up one entry (record) in the unit's Address Book. The column on

the right (Field in the CSV) is used to select which fields (values) in the CSV file you want to associate with the Address

Book fields on the left. The options listed in the drop down boxes are derived from the column headings (1st row) in the

CSV file.

For each drop down box, select a Value that matches closest to the Address Book Field on the left. Each drop down box

must select a different value (column heading). Then click Import.

In the example that follows, the selected column headings are First Name, Last Name, Phone, and Description in this

order.
