A maximum of 1000 contacts are displayed in the table. The contacts displayed are only used to check if the CSV file was formatted correctly.
 The display of how many contacts are contained in the table also serves as a control. The address book currently contains XX entries.

  • Import contacts: Here you can upload a CSV file, which must have UTF-8 or ISO8859-1 encoding.
    Format: First name;Last name;Company;Number Private;Number Office;Number Mobile
    You can also export an existing phone book. The best way to manage the central addresses is with spreadsheet office software (Excel, PlanMaker, LibreOffice...) in which you have to make sure that the fields are in text format, otherwise all leading zeros will be removed. It will then not be possible to dial any of the numbers due to the missing zeros. Before you upload the address list, export it to CSV format and upload it to the telephone system 

Import

Please note that the old entries are deleted during import! All existing entries are replaced by the imported one
