Duplicating contacts allows you to copy contacts - optionally also between different contact folders - and to immediately edit the data of the copied contacts during this process. With this function you can create new contacts on the basis of a contact you have already entered: For the new contact you just need to change the divergent information, identical information (address, etc.) can be transferred.
In order to duplicate contacts in your personal contact folders or in/between other users' shared or public contact folders (provided you have the right to create objects), you first need to select the desired source contact. Then click on
in the panel section.This opens the
window that already contains all data from the previously selected source contact. Now adjust the relevant information for the new contacts in all tabs. In the tab, select (if desired) another contact folder as destination for the new contact. Then your input.As a result, a new contact is created in the contact folder that you have previously selected as a destination folder in the
tab of the window.In the
and view the function can also be activated via the context menu.Duplicating contactsYou can always duplicate only one contact at a time - as soon as you select more than one contact, the the section called “Copying contacts” section of this chapter. function in becomes deactivated. If you would like to copy several contacts at a time, you can use the function described in theWhen you duplicate contacts, this does not create any dependency between source contact and its duplicates. Each contact is an independent element - regardless of how it was created. If you want to duplicate contacts from your personal contact folders into public and/or other users' shared contact folders, you need the right to create objects for the destination folder. The same is true if you would like to duplicate contacts between public and/or other users' shared contact folders. In the select list you can only choose folders, in which you can save contacts. When you duplicate a contact marked as personal from your personal contact folders into public or other users' shared contact folders, the duplicated contact automatically loses its marking as a private contact in the relevant destination folder. Thus it can be viewed and edited by all other users as well. A contact marked as private can not be moved or copied to public or shared folders. |
