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.

From WebDAV or XCAP

If your system administrator has set up a WebDAV or XCAP server, then once Bria is configured to use this
server for contact storage, the contacts from that source will automatically appear in the contact list. From then
on, each time you add a contact, it will be stored on that server.

The contact list on WebDAV or XCAP is individual, not shared among users.

Synchronizing with the Mac Address Book

You can populate the Bria contact list by synchronizing with your Mac address book. In this case, you are
actually using your Mac address book from within Bria. When you start Bria, contacts are fetched from the
address book. When you add or modify a contact in Bria, the contact is actually saved in the Mac address book.

To synchronize with the Mac address book, set your contact list storage method to this value. See page 70.
