Creating an Excel file for the central database
1. Open Microsoft Office Excel.
2. Add three columns as shown in the following figure.
Important:
It is important to use the column headers DBID, Name, and Extension. The first
column contains sequence numbers and each must be unique.
3. Add as many rows as entries.
If the number of entries in the spreadsheet is small (about 10), then you can see
some of the entries more than once on the handset display while scrolling the list.
This is normal.
4. Change the name of the Excel sheet from Sheet1 to directory.
5. Save the database, for example, as cda_names.xls .
After you update the file, it is immediately active in the Central Directory access tool.
Do not change the file name as you update the file.
