Using the Contacts App
======================
The contacts app of ownCloud is like any other mobile contact app but with more functionality.
Just as you open your account you will get the a default addressbook available.
We will see later that Of course you can always add and remove addressbooks in here.
Adding contacts
---------------
There are two ways in which you can add contacts
1. Add them manually
2. Import a VCF file
Importing
~~~~~~~~~
So first well check out how to import all the VCF files as they are a lot
more faster way of creating contacts in this wonderful app.
Just below the contact list, 3 buttons: The middle one let you upload files.

Once you've clicked it, the upload window let you choose your files.
We can upload the files one by one or upload all of them at one go.
Let me demonstrate.
Open the directory in which you store all the files and then do the following
Keep pressing ctrl and select the files to upload.
After you are done just click on the open button
After the upload it should look something like this in which all the names and contacts will be sorted alphabetically
.. figure:: images/contact_vcfpick.jpg
Then, the interface ask you where to put your imported contacts.
You have the ability to choose an existing addressbook or to create a new one.
Then click on "Ok" and that's all for the import of contacts.

Create contacts manually
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the picture of the bottom bar, you could see the new contact button (first one).
Click on it. You can now see an empty contact in the main part of the interface.
You have the ability to add all your informations about the contact:
the name, the address, the e-mail, the telephone nr, ...
Just click on a field and start typing the information.
You can use the "Add Field" button to add another types of information for this contact.

When you want to remove an information of your contact, just click on little delete icon
at the right of the field you want to remove.
Adding picture to the contact
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two methods in which you can give a picture id to the specific contact
.. figure:: images/contact_picture.jpg
1) **Direct upload**
2) **Select pics already uploaded in ownCloud files.**
After you have selected the picture for the contact you get
an option to crop the picture to suit your requirements
.. figure:: images/contact_crop.jpg
You can crop the picture however you wish and then press OK.
As you can see it is really easy to set things right in this app.
It automatically pics up the First name, Middle name (if any) and the last name
You may add or delete any section you want for your own convenience.
Creating new address books
--------------------------
When you click on the third button of the bottom bar,
you will have access to the application's settings.
Then, press on the "More button" to access the options of your Addressbooks.

You have there the ability to add, delete, download or share your addressbooks.
Hover your cursor on every icon to see what they mean.
