Contacts

The Contact Sync Settings allow you to enable synchronization for your contacts.  If multiple Address Books are supported in the collaboration suite, you can choose which Address Books to synchronize.

Contact Categories.  Collaboration suites that support multiple Address Books use the address book names to map to device contact categories.  For collaboration suites that do not support multiple Address Books, a contact category from the server is mapped to the device contact category.  See Choose Address Books below.

If a contact is added to the device with a specific category, it is synchronized to the category/address book of the same name in the collaboration suite.  If a category/address book of the same name does not exist, it will be created. 

A category you create on the device is not synchronized to the server until you add a contact to that category.

 

Location:  Select the PIM tab, then click on the Contacts button.

 

1. Select PIM > Contacts 2. Synchronize contacts with the device.  Check this box to enable contact synchronization from the server to your device. NOTES: •      Enabling contact synchronization will not work unless you have PIM synchronization enabled in the Control options. •      Contact synchronization is supported on BlackBerry devices with BlackBerry OS 4.1 or higher, operating on NotifyLink device client version 4.0.3 or higher. 3. Choose Address Books.  If supported by the collaboration suite, users may choose to synchronize multiple address books to the device.  Click the Choose Address Books button.

Choose Address Books

NotifyLink can synchronize contacts from multiple address books on the Mail/PIM Server into different categories on the device.  It also gives you the ability to choose which address books will be synchronized.  For example, you may want your business contact list, but not your personal contact list, synchronized to your device.  You can also set a default address book.

Note:  FirstClass, MDaemon, Meeting Maker, Mirapoint, Oracle, and Sun Java Enterprise System collaboration suites do NOT support multiple address books.

For Windows Mobile ActiveSync users:  These devices can only synchronize one address book.  If the groupware server supports multiple address books, the user may choose which one will synchronize to the device, but they may choose only one.

1. Click the Choose Address Books button. 2. Check the box beside each address book(s) you would like to synchronize. 3. Choose a default address book from the drop down list.  This is the address book that receives new and changed contacts from the device which have not been assigned to a particular category.  Note:  A default address is not required for NotifyLink for Palm OS or NotifyLink for Windows Mobile device client users.  NotifyLink automatically sends the changes to the correct address book using the category field on the device.
