2.5 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 Bria menu, choose Softphone > Preferences. Display the Contact Storage panel./
2. Select the contact storage method: typically “local” or “Outlook Personal Contacts” (to use your
Microsoft® Outlook® address book directly from Bria). See page 34.
Populating the Contact List
You can set up contacts in several ways:
• If you are using Outlook Personal Storage, 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 34.
In addition:
• You can create a contact from an entry in the corporate directory, if your administrator has set this up; see
“Directory Tab” on page 51.
• 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 (if using local storage) or page 38 (if
using Outlook contacts).
For general information on contacts, see page 33.
