Contact List Context Menu

 

This menu shows the options available for a contact.  Different menu items are enabled depending on the contact selected.

 

New Contact

Adds a caller to the Contact list.  The Edit Contact window will be opened so you can set the action and fill in any additional fields.

Edit Contact

Opens the Edit Contact window for the selected contact.

 

 

Copy Contact Info

Copies the contact information to the clipboard, so you can paste it into another program.

Copy Contact Name

Copies just the contact's name to the clipboard.

Copy Contact Number

Copies just the contact's phone number to the clipboard.

 

 

The following items will be disabled if the selected caller does not include a phone number:

 

Look Up Phone Number

Searches for the phone number of the selected caller on the internet, using the URL specified in General Options.  The search will open in your browser.  This requires internet access.  Note that many or most phone numbers will not be found.

Look Up Area Code

Searches for the area code of the selected caller on the internet, using the URL specified in General Options.  The search will open in your browser.  This requires internet access.  This may be useful if Look Up Phone Number could not find the phone number.

Dial Phone

Uses Window's dialer to dial the selected phone number.  This will probably fail if you have not configured your dialing settings in Windows.  To configure the dialing settings in Windows XP, open the Windows Control Panel.  If the right-hand pane of the Control Panel says "Pick a category", click on "Switch to Classic View" in the left pane.  Then double-click the "Phone and Modem Options" control panel.  Fill out the form and click OK.  Click OK again to close the control panel.  Other versions of Windows can be similarly configured.  If this option is disabled, then there is no phone number associated with the call, or dialing has failed once already.  If you configured Windows' dialing settings, restart Ascendis Caller ID so it will try dialing again.

 

 

Delete Contact

Deletes the selected contact.  You will be prompted for confirmation first.

Delete ALL Contacts

Deletes all the contacts in the Contact list.  You will be prompted for confirmation first.  All your contacts will be permanently deleted.  Please use this with caution as we cannot restore your contacts once they are deleted!

 

 

Test Action

Performs the action associated with the selected contact.

 

If you select multiple contacts (by holding the Control key while clicking on additional contacts, or by shift-clicking) then fewer commands will be available.
