<h1>Using the Contacts App<a class="headerlink" href="#using-the-contacts-app" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>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.</p>
<div class="section" id="adding-contacts">
<h2>Adding contacts<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-contacts" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>There are two ways in which you can add contacts</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>Add them manually</li>
<li>Import a VCF file</li>
</ol>
<div class="section" id="importing">
<h3>Importing<a class="headerlink" href="#importing" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>So first we’ll check out how to import all the VCF files as they are a lot
more faster way of creating contacts.
Just below the contact list, 3 buttons: The middle one let you upload files.</p>
<img alt="../_images/contact_bottombar.jpg" src="../_images/contact_bottombar.jpg" />
<p>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.</p>
<p>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</p>
<img alt="../_images/contact_vcfpick.jpg" src="../_images/contact_vcfpick.jpg" />
<p>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.</p>
<img alt="../_images/contact_import.jpg" src="../_images/contact_import.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="section" id="create-contacts-manually">
<h3>Create contacts manually<a class="headerlink" href="#create-contacts-manually" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
<p>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, ...</p>
<p>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.</p>
<img alt="../_images/contact_emptycontact.jpg" src="../_images/contact_emptycontact.jpg" />

at the right of the field you want to remove.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="adding-picture-to-the-contact">

<li><strong>Select pics already uploaded in ownCloud files.</strong></li>
</ol>
