Importing Contacts

You can import a list of contacts from a .csv (Comma Separated Values) file into the Company Phonebook directory. There is no limit to the number of contacts you can import at one time, as long as the total number of entries in the Company Phonebook will not exceed the 2500 entry maximum after the file is imported. 

The file you import must be an Excel spreadsheet, saved as a .csv file, and have the following characteristics:

• The data must be in five columns.
• The first row must be a header row containing the following headings:
  • Column A: First Name
  • Column B: Last Name
  • Column C: Home
  • Column D: Work
  • Column E: Cell
  NOTE: The First Name column must contain data; all other fields are optional.
• Each contact must be in a separate row below the header row.
• Each phone column (Home, Work, Cell) can only contain one phone number; type any additional phone numbers for the contact in the other phone columns or create another row for the contact.
• Most standard phone number formats can be used in the phone columns.
• Columns must be wide enough to display the entire phone number. International numbers starting with zero will not import properly if the column in the .csv file is not wide enough to display the entire number.
  For example: When the phone number 011-845-882-2999 is entered in the .csv file with the standard cell width, the number is displayed as 1.18459E+11 and the number imports incorrectly into the Company Phonebook as 11845911.
