Importing the File
1. From the main menu choose Contacts > Import Contacts. The Import Contacts wizard starts.
2. As soon as you click Finish on the wizard, the Contacts tab in Bria is updated to show the imported entries.
Populating Contact List from Outlook or Mac Address Book
Bria for Windows is automatically set up with an Outlook account. Bria for Mac is automatically set up with a
Mac Address Book account. Both these accounts are disabled by default.
If the user enables the account, the contacts from that address book are pulled into Bria. Typically let the
individual user decide whether to enable the Outlook or MAB account.
Populating from an LDAP Directory or Active Directory
If your company has a corporate directory, users can connect to it. Users of Bria for Mac can only connect to an
LDAP directory. See page 46 for configuration information.
The user will be able to view the directory and directory contents appear in the Directory tab (alongside the
Contacts and History tabs)
The user can promote any entry in the directory to their contact list. Contacts created from the directory are
automatically synchronized periodically. Changes to the directory entry are pushed to the contact. If the
directory entry is deleted, the contact is not deleted.
Storing Contacts on a WebDAV or XCAP Server
If desired, you can set up Bria so that contacts are stored on a WebDAV or XCAP server. See page 35.
