Creating New Contacts

You can create a new Contact record using one of three methods:

1. If the 'Hansa BusinessPhone' window is open, click the [New] button above the list of Contacts.

2. If a Contact record is open, click the [New] button in the Button Bar. The current Contact will be saved and closed, and a new blank record opened to allow you to create the new Contact record.

3. If a Contact record is open, click the [Duplicate] button in the Button Bar. The current Contact will be saved and closed, and a new window will be opened containing a copy of the previous record.

In all three cases, the window title will be 'Contact: New', signifying that the Contact has not yet been saved. In all other respects, the 'Contact: New' window is identical to the 'Contact: Inspect' window illustrated and described on the Modifying Contacts page. The Contact Number will be generated automatically when you save the Contact for the first time.

You may need to switch from Hansa BusinessPhone to Skype to send the new Contact a request to allow you to see when they are online before you can make a Skype call to them or to chat to them using Skype. This will depend on the Contact's Skype privacy settings.

You should add both external contacts to your Contact list and members of your company or organisation. As well as improving the efficiency and cost effectiveness of internal communications, including internal contacts in the contact list will allow you to use Hansa BusinessPhone's Conferennce and Transfer features.
