8.4 Importing Contacts from other applications
ShoreTel Communicator supports the import of data records from CSV or XML files for
display in the Directory Viewer. The CSV and XML files contain lists of contacts and are
formatted specifically for integration with ShoreTel Communicator.
The CSV and XML files are not modified by the import process, nor are the contacts
permanently added to the user’s ShoreTel Communicator database.
ShoreTel Communicator caches CSV or XML file contents at start-up and after each file
change. The data is available in the Directory Viewer, Contacts Viewer, and QuickDialer.
ShoreTel Communicator reports errors during the cache process to the user and in log files.
ShoreTel Communicator receives records from all properly formatted CSV and XML files in
the target directory.
ShorePhones do not display records imported from other applications.
