Import & Export Address Book
Import & Export Address Book > Import
Use this screen 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) will not be imported. After performing an
Import, be sure to perform a "Save to Flash", otherwise the new Address Book entries will be 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 the Upload button once it is found. The
screen will display say 'Please Wait while the CSV "File" is Uploaded'. This screen goes by rather quickly
(this is the actual upload of the file to the MultiModem iSMS Server). When the transfer is complete
the next screen will display 'Please Wait while "CSV" is Uploaded'. This is displayed while the structure
and contents of the CSV file is analyzed. When the analysis is complete the following screen will be
displayed. The following screen is used to select which Field/Values in the CSV file you want 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 the Import button.
In the example used below, the selected column headings are First Name, Last Name, Phone, and
Description in this order.
