5.1 Populating the Contact List
At any time, but particularly when you first deploy Bria, you may want to populate the contact list with contacts
from an external source.
Populating from the Mac Address Book
You can populate the Bria contact list by pulling in the contacts from your Mac Address book.
Enabling the Mac Address Book
Enable the Mac Address book account that is has automatically set up in Bria. See “Configuring Accounts: the
Accounts Tab” on page 47 for more information.
Setting up for Availability
If your Mac Address book contains phone numbers that you know you can use to obtain online availability
information about the person via your SIP account, you can perform this optional setup:
• In the Mac Address book, modify the contact’s entry so that the type is “Phone” and the label is “softphone”
(all lower case):
When you enable the Mac Address Book account in Bria, the contact will be pulled in with the specified
phone number already set up as a softphone address.
• Open the contact and choose the specified phone number in the Presence field. When you click OK, Bria
will obtain availability information for this contact.
Address label “softphone”
