2. Select the file type and file location, and specify whether you want to replace or append to the existing
contact list.
Setting up an Excel File for Import
1. Remove any introductory text or headings from the top of the file. (You can keep text at the end of the file;
it will be ignored during the import.)
2. Insert a blank row as the first row, then insert the headings that Bria will use to interpret the meaning of
each column. The columns can be in any order. Key headings are:
• uri. Bria recognizes a value in this column as a softphone address and considers the address as one that
can be phoned and as an address that can be used for IM/presence (if SIP is being used for IM/
presence).
• jid: Bria recognizes a value in this field as a Jabber (XMPP) address and will map this field to the
Jabber contact method for the contact. Bria considers a Jabber address as one that can be used for IM/
presence (if XMPP is being used for IM/presence).
• display-name, entry_id, given_name, surname
• business number
• pres_subscription, which instructs Bria how to subscribe to the contact. Enter “true” for contacts whose
online presence you want to see. Leave blank or enter “false” for others. Entering “true” assumes that
the user has a SIP or XMPP address (depending on which account handles presence).
For a complete list of headings, see “Contact List Headings” on page 88.
3. Save the file as *.csv.
Exporting Contacts
You can export a contact list to a comma-separated file.
1. From the menu bar, choose Contacts > Export Contacts. The Export Contacts wizard starts.
2. Select the file type and file location for the created file.
A file of the specified type is created.
