2.4 Setting up a Contact List
Typically, you will want to create contacts in order to easily make phone calls, send IMs and transfer files.
Selecting the Contact Storage Method
1. From the menu bar, choose Bria > Preferences > Contact Storage.
2. Select the contact storage method: typically “local” or “Mac Address Book” (to use your Mac Address
book directly from Bria). See page 59.
Populating the Contact List
You can set up contacts in several ways:
• If you are using Mac Address book, your Bria contact list will automatically be populated with these
contacts.
• If you are using local storage, you can import a contact list from a file or from another application. See
page 35.
In addition:
• You can create a contact from an entry in the corporate directory, if your administrator has set this up; see
“The Directory Tab” on page 47.
• During a call that you place or receive, you can add the other party to your contact list. See “Handling an
Established Call” on page 17.
• You can add addresses to the Contact list one by one. See page 36.
For general information on contacts, see page 33.
