Using the contacts app
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
The Contacts app is not enabled by default in Nextcloud |version| and needs to
|
|
be installed separately from our App Store.
|
|
|
|
The Nextcloud Contacts app is similar to other mobile contact applications, but
|
|
with more functionality. When you first access the Contacts app, a default
|
|
address book becomes available.

Adding contacts
|
|
---------------
|
|
You can add contacts using one of the following methods:
|
|
|
|
* Import contacts using a Virtual Contact File (VCF/Vcard) file
|
|
|
|
* Add contacts manually
|
|
|
|
Importing Contacts
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The fastest way to add contacts is through the use of a Virtual Contact File
|
|
(VCF/Vcard) file.
|
|
|
|
To import contacts using a VCF/Vcard file:
|
|
|
|
1. At the bottom of the Contacts app information field, locate the gear button.

|
|
|
|
Creating Contacts Manually
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The Contacts app enables you to create contacts manually.
|
|
|
|
To create a new contact:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the ``+ New contact`` button.
|
|
|
|
An empty new contact configuration opens in the Application View field.
|
|
|
|

|
|
2. Specify the new contact information. Changes that you made are implemented immediately.
|
|
|
|
Edit or Remove Contact Information
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The Contacts app enables you to edit or remove contact information.
|
|
|
|
To edit or remove contact information:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the specific contact that you want to modify.
|
|
|
|
2. Select the information in the field that you want to edit or remove.
|
|
|
|
3. Make your modifications or click on the trash bin.
|
|

Adding and managing address books
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Clicking on the settings (gear) button at the bottom of the Apps Information
|
|
field provides access to the Contact app settings. This field shows all
|
|
available address books, certain options for each address book, and enables you
|
|
to create new address books, simply by specifying an address books name.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/contact_manageaddressbook.png
|
|
|
|
**Add address book in the contacts settings**
|
|
|
|
The Contacts settings also enables you to share, export and delete address
|
|
books. You will also find the CardDAV URLs there.
|
|
See :doc:`index` for more details about syncing your adress books
|
|
with iOS, macOS, Thunderbird and other CardDAV clients.
