Adding and Managing Contacts

In this article, we will explore adding contacts and editing contact details, making it easier to keep your contact information up to date.

 Adding personal contacts

Notes

Notes:

  • Either the first name or the email address must be filled.

  • If the first name isn't filled, then the first half of the email address will be considered as the first name.

Filling Contact Details    

You can use the contact fields to provide comprehensive information for each contact. In the contacts form, you'll find fields for entering details such as first name, last name, email address, and more.

For fields like phone number, instant messaging, URL, and date of birth, you can select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu and enter the details.

Setting the Primary Email Address    

The first email address you enter will be set as the primary email by default. If you add multiple email addresses, you can designate one as the primary by hovering over it and clicking the Star  icon. To remove it as the primary address, click the Star  icon again to disassociate it as the primary email address. To remove an email address, hover over it, and click the Trash  icon.

NotesNote: No two contacts can share the same primary email address.
