PBXware allows its users to manage CSV files in few different ways:
Upload a predefined list of contacts to the contacts list
Please refer to the example of a CSV file with 5 contacts:
1 Chevy,,Yesipov,cyesipov0@example.com,Jacobi and Sons,mobile:50011,work:600111
2 Jeanine,,Tiddeman,jtiddeman1@ihg.com,Walsh Group,mobile:50012,work:600112
3 Erasmus,,Curlis,ecurlis2@sbwire.com,Nolan-Kris,mobile:50013,work:600113
4 Caresa,,Bremmell,cbremmell3@php.net,Mayert Inc,mobile:50014,work:600114
5 Romy,,Hedling,rhedling4@latimes.com,"Ankunding, Weissnat",mobile:50015,work:600115
NOTE: If a value (first_name, last_name etc.) has a comma, it has to be put under quotes. In the example of a CSV file shown above, the 5th contact with its company name has a comma - "Ankunding, Weissnat".
NOTE: In case the number type is not 'Work', 'Mobile', 'Home', or 'Fax', the number will be skipped. Also, the number type is case insensitive which means that all of these examples are acceptable - 'Work', 'WORK', and/or 'wOrK'.
NOTE: Upon uploading a new CSV file, all existing contacts on the system will be deleted, which ensures that a user's contact list stays up-to-date.
However, in order to prevent any potential and unintentional data loss, upon uploading a new CSV file, the warning message will appear saying "CSV upload will delete existing records. Do you want to proceed?".
If a user presses 'OK', new CSV file will be uploaded and all previous contacts will be deleted.
Download all the global/personal contacts as a CSV file
Download a CSV template which can be used to create a CSV file with contacts and upload it instead of adding contacts one by one
Search contacts by entering specific information into the search bar
NOTE: Contacts can be searched by using the '+' (plus) sign.
NOTE: On the Central Phone Book page, 1000 (one thousand) is the maximum number of contacts that can be displayed. To narrow down the range of contacts, search option should be used.
