Using the Assistant

To use the Assistant, start Schedule+, and then choose Import from the File menu. You can select Address Book entries from any Address Book, but the Assistant only ports individual user entries. Distribution lists are not supported.

When you select an Address Book entry to copy, the Address Book Assistant scans the schedule file to determine whether the entry already exists. If the entry exists, you are prompted to choose whether you want to update the entry. If the entry is not found, it is automatically created.

The Assistant can add and/or update the following Schedule+ fields:

FirstName
LastName
User1
User4
JobTitle
Company
PhoneBusiness
Office
PhonePager
PhoneMobile
Department

These fields are updated with the Address Book information (or left blank as necessary) with the following exceptions:

If first and last names aren't included in the Address Book, the DisplayName is used in the LastName field of the Schedule+ contact.
The User1 field contains the e-mail address.
The User4 field contains the string "Created by Microsoft Schedule+ Address Book Assistant" so that you can identify the entries created by the tool.
The Job Title through the Department fields are only changed if there is information in the Address Book for that entry.
