Open Contacts

 

Import from XML

After getting an XML file exported from another address book database managed by Open Contacts, you may import the XML file to add contact info into your address book.

If a contact in the XML file exists in your database (identified by Name), Open Contacts will prompt you a list of options of further processing: Update, Change name, Skip and Stop.

If you choose "Update", the Title field and the single-line fields will be updated or added, and the name fields and the notes fields will keep their contents unchanged.

The XML file might contain info of categories, relationships and setting etc., the importing may overwrite such info in the targeted database. Please refer to chapter Export for more details.
