Adding Address Books

6.7.2. Subscribing to external address books

You can subscribe to external address books, e.g. from your social networks. The following applies:

  • Changes that you apply to the subscribed address book in the groupware are not transfered to the external address book.

  • Changes that you apply to the external address book can be transfered to the groupware by refreshing subscribed data.

How to subscribe to external address books:

  1. Click on Subscribe address book in the folder tree. The Subscribe address book window opens.

  2. Click one of the icons. Depending on the data source, the further procedure varies.

    • For some data sources, a new browser window opens. Log in with your credentials to grant access to the address data.

    • If the provider asks you for the permission to access the data, grant this permission.

    • For some data sources, you have to enter your credentials for the data source in the Subscribe address book window.

    As soon as the import has been completed, the Subscribe address book window will be closed.

Tip: An address book with subscribed contacts is marked with the Subscribed icon . If clicking the icon, the Subscriptions settings are opened.
