Phonebook

The Phonebook from Totalview Admin has been implemented in Web Admin

The numbers and names that are shown in the telephony control in the Totalview3Clients, come from the phonebook registered in the Totalview3Admin and now also Web Admin.

Importing CSV files

When importing from CSV files, you have two extra parameters to specify:

1. Header

   1. Does the first line of the file show the name of the columns (i.e., headers)

2. Delimiter

   1. The delimiter is what separates the values in the file (default is ,)

Once all parameters are set, you can press the import button, and the phonebook should start importing.

Import failure

If something went wrong while importing the phonebook, a popup will appear indicating the error.

An example error:

If a phonebook were to be imported e.g.

344000;Tina Townsend;Óðinshædd 2
344000;Christina Thomphson;Óðinshædd 2
344000;Christopher Radcliff

In this example, the last entry is missing an address, making the csv incomplete, this will result in an error:

Formatting Rules

CSV (.csv, .txt)

You can import a CSV file with or without headers. It is also possible to set what delimiter is used.
