| Contacts Page Basics
Lets begin by explaining the interface of the Contacts Page.
1) This is the Contact Info Pane. When a contact is selected this is where you can view and edit the personal information of that contact.
2) This is the Contacts Pane. This will display a list of all of your current contacts.
3) This is the “Contact Search Box”. This will allow you to search for a contact that is currently in your contact list.
4) This is the Create New Contact button. This button will allow you to add a new contact to your contact list.
5) This is the groups pane. This will allow you to view and change the groups that the selected contact is a part of.
6) This is the Restore button. This allows to restore a contact list that you have backed up.
7) This is the Backup button. This allows you to backup your contact list to a local file.
To add a new contact, the first thing you must do is click on the “Create New” button.
At this point the “Contact Info” pane will change to be editable. You simply need to input the information for the new contact. Field names that are in bold are required fields.
 
(NOTE: While it is optional to put a user into a group, it is recommended for better management of users for sending messages in the future.)
Once the new Contact’s information is properly inserted, click on the Save button and the Contact will be added to your list. You will notice this by the Contact’s name appearing in the “Contacts” pane. *If at any point you want to cancel inserting the new Contact, simply click the “Cancel” button.
Updating a Contact
Updating a contact is a simple process. Simply select the name of the contact you wish to update from the “Contacts” pane. After this is done, you will notice the contact’s information appears in the “Contact Info” pane, also a new button appears at the bottom of the “Contacts” pane that says “Edit”.
To edit the contact, simply click on the “Edit” button, and it will allow for the contact’s information to be edited in the “Contact Info” pane. Once the new information has been put in, click on the “Save” button in the “Contact Info” pane. If you do not wish to save the changes, simply click on the “Cancel” button.
(NOTE* Deleting a contact is permanant. This should be done with extreme care.)
To delete a contact, you must first select the contact name in the “Contacts” pane. Once the name is selected a new button will appear at the bottom of the “Contacts” pane labeled “Remove”.
If you click on the “Remove” button, you will receive a popup window asking if you are sure you wish to delete the user. By clicking OK, the user will be permanently deleted from your Contact list.
