Adding an Address Book entry from Microsoft Outlook
You can create Address Book entries in Maximizer directly from Microsoft Outlook. You can create Address Book entries from Outlook contacts or from email messages in Outlook. If you create the entry from an email message; the entry is created from the email sender (From address).
The Create Contact command is available in the Maximizer Outlook Integration tab or toolbar in the Mail and Contact windows; and the Message and Contact dialogs in Outlook.
If you cleared the “Confirm when creating Contact” option when setting up Outlook integration; Maximizer automatically creates entries as follows:
- If an Individual is selected as the default contact type; Maximizer creates an Individual Address Book entry.
- If a Company/Contact is selected as the default contact type; Maximizer creates a Company/Contact Address Book entry. If the Outlook contact information does not include a company name; you are prompted to provide one when saving the Contact to Maximizer.
