Copying of contacts allows to you to copy contacts from one contact folder into another contact folder. In contrast to the

in the panel section. The function displays a select list where you can now select the desired destination folder. When you make a choice, please note that contacts can only be copied into contact folders and that you need the right to create objects for copying contacts to public or other users' shared contact folders.As soon as you have chosen the desired destination folder, all previously selected contacts are copied into this contact folder.
Copying contactsCopying of contacts does not establish any relationship between source contact and the copied contacts. Each contact is an independent element - regardless of how it was created. If you want to copy contacts into public and/or other users' shared contact folders, you need the right to create objects for the destination folder. When you copy contacts, the select list offers only those contact folders as destination folders to which to you have been granted the right to create objects. A contact marked as private can not be moved or copied to public or shared folders. |
