Auto Import Contacts

 

The Auto Import Contacts window lets you configure Ascendis Caller ID to automatically import contacts from a file every time it changes.  This is useful when using Ascendis Caller ID with another system that maintains its own contact list.

 

(For more information on importing, please see the Import Command topic or the Importing and Exporting topic.)

 

Automatically import contacts when import file changes

Determines whether automatic importing is enabled (checked) or disabled (not checked).

File to import

The full name and path of the file to import.

Use Windows file change notification

When checked, Ascendis Caller ID relies on Windows to tell it when the file has changed.  Normally this is the best method.  However, Windows may not notice file changes on network drives.  In this case, uncheck the option, and Ascendis Caller ID will periodically check the file to see whether the modification date has changed.

Delete file after import

When checked, the import file will be deleted after importing.  This may be convenient when the import file is automatically generated by another program, but it is not required, as the program can just overwrite an existing file.

Please be careful when using this option.  In general this should not be enabled unless the import file is generated automatically or is a copy of another file.

 

 

OK

Saves all changes and closes the window.  If the import file is new it will be imported immediately.

Cancel

Discards all changes and closes the window.
