You can add a contact to your Address Book by starting from scratch, or by duplicating an existing contact's information, then editing it. Both methods are described below.
Add a New Contact from Scratch
- On the Address Book sidebar, click New Contact. The New Contact Summary page opens.
- The New Contact Summary page is divided into the following sections:
- Basic Information - includes the contact's name, employment information, nickname, birthday, and the category of the contact
- Icon - select from an icon shown or click Select From Photos to assign a Photo Caller ID. You will be taken to your Gallery: select a photo then click the Assign to Contact button; you are returned to the contact details page with the new icon showing.
- Phone Numbers (up to ten)
- Addresses (up to three)
- Internet - includes email addresses (up to five), instant messages screen names (up to five), and URLs (up to three)
- Notes
You can fill in as much of the information as you wish, including multiple addresses, phone numbers, and Internet addresses. You must, however, add at least a first name, last name, company name, email address, or phone number to establish a contact. - When you've completed the form, click Save. The page will refresh, and the new contact information will be displayed.
- If you wish to add any other information to the contact, click Edit, then click the tab that corresponds to the type of information you wish to add or edit.
Create a New Contact by Duplicating an Existing Contact
- From the Browse Contacts page, select the contact whose information you want to duplicate. The contact's information displays.
- Click Copy at the top or bottom of the page. An editable form of the contact's information will appear; the page is labeled "Copying <Contact Name>".
- Edit the information to create your new contact, then click Save. Note: If you save this contact information without making any change, you will have duplicate entries for this contact.
