Importing Your Contacts

You can import contacts from a CSV file into the PhonePad Address Book.  Click the Import button.

The first row of the file you are importing must contain column names..  The column names can be in any order but some of the columns must match required Address Book fields..

There are links you can click to view the list of Mandatory field names, and a list of all Address Book field names.  If your CSV file doesn't contain the required column names, there is a link for downloading the CSV Header Editor.

List of All Address Book Field Names

You can take a copy of the list by clicking the Copy button.  If your CSV doesn't have the exact field names you will have to edit the names using a text file editor.
