Importing Contacts

- Move your mouse over the Import/Export icon from the actions toolbar and choose Import Contacts.
- Link to the file you wish to upload and click on OK.
- If any conflicts occur, you will be asked to resolve them by performing one of the actions below:
- Add as a New Contact – As it states, this option adds a completely new contact record with the information in the vCard.
- Replace Existing Contact – Replaces the contact in the box with the new one being uploaded. To examine the properties of the close match contacts, hover your mouse over the magnifying glass icon in the list at the bottom of the page.
