Using Gigaset MS Outlook Connector
Dialling using the number field
Gigaset MS Outlook Connector extends Outlook to include a toolbar in the main window, log
and a contact view. This toolbar offers buttons that you can use to start and end phone calls.
To make a call, either select a number for the current contact via the number field or enter a
phone number in the text field and press the enter key to confirm and start a search in the
contacts stored in Outlook. If a contact is found with the specified features, its information is
copied into the search field. The phone number can now be dialled using the Call button.
You can configure which numbers are to be displayed for the current contact in the
number field, and in which order, in the settings.
Dialling from the Call list
Gigaset MS Outlook Connector stores a list of the last calls made, received and missed.
You can call this up both via the toolbar and the icon in the notification area. If you select
an entry in the list, the number will be called immediately.
Call display
Gigaset MS Outlook Connector offers various options for signalling incoming and
outgoing calls that can each be switched on and off separately via the settings.
u
Call notifications in the notification area
The name, number and company of a caller can be signalled in the notification area for
incoming and outgoing calls. Click on the displayed name to open the relevant contact
or click on the receiver to open a memo.
u
New contact entry
The call notification will also open if the caller is unknown.
Click on the displayed name to open a new contact and automatically add the phone
number to the contact screen.
Since Outlook has problems with some phone number formats, it is advisable to correct
the phone number and area code manually so that the number part of the area code is
entered in the "Area/Area code" field.
Making notes
Gigaset MS Outlook Connector enables you to make notes on phone calls in the form of
log entries in Outlook. If the relevant option is activated in the settings, log entries
containing the call data, time and name of the contact will be generated for phone calls
automatically. Log entries can, however, also be opened manually by clicking on the
receiver in the call notification.
The generated entries are listed in the Outlook log with a phone icon. The entries are also
displayed in the linked contact's activity list.
