New entries in your address book come from two sources: (a) BSCW automatically adds all users and e-mail addresses, which you invite to one of your workspaces, to your address book; (b) you may add entries to your address book manually.
You may add new entries to your address book as you would add them to a contact list:
• Open your address book by clicking on the icon in your
instant access bar or select
in the top menu.
• Choose from the top menu bar and fill in the action form.
• Click [OK] to create new entries in your address book.
Instead of creating address book entries manually, you may also copy users from members’ pages and contacts from contact lists into your address book.
• On a members’ page or contact list, check those entries to be inserted
into your address book and select in the
multi-selection toolbar, or
• select
from the action menu of single entries. If this action is not offered in the
action menu, the contact may already be part of your address book.
Contacts that you copy from a members’ page are original contacts.
You may also import contacts from local applications like
Outlook in vCard format into your address book by invoking 5.1.5
Importing and
exporting contacts). You may also export single contacts, contact lists of
your address book or even the entire address book in vCard format using
in the action menu or
in the top menu for usage on your local computer.
Note: Starting with this BSCW version, member groups cannot be transferred to personal address books anymore to be used for invitation to workspaces. Instead, member groups may be made available for invitation to workspaces in general and are found by a global search when inviting members to a workspace.
