Joining Contact Information
Most people now maintain multiple email accounts,
social networking logins, and other similar account
information. For example, a Facebook account login
name might differ from a corporate email account
login because they are maintained separately and
for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts
(such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync, Google, or T-Mobile). When
you synchronize your phone with those accounts,
each account creates a separate contact entry in the
Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular
email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also
has a Facebook account under her maiden and
married name, as well as a Video! chat account,
when you merge those accounts into your Contacts
list you can join all of her entries and view the
information in one record.
Joining contact information makes sending
messages easy. You can select any account email
address or information all from one screen, versus
searching multiple, individual screens to locate the
desired account information.
Next time you synchronize your phone with your
accounts, any updates contacts make to email
account names, email addresses, etc. automatically
update in your contacts list.
1.
From the Home screen, tap
.
2.
Tap a contact name (the name you want to
link to another entry) to reveal the
Contact
entry’s Overview Screen
.
Note:
Typically this is the same contact with a different name
or account information.
3.
Press
and then tap
Join contact
.
4.
Tap the second contact entry (the entry in
which to link). The second contact is now
linked with the first and the account
information is merged into one screen.
Note:
The information is still maintained in both entries, but
displays in one record for easier viewing when you link
the contacts.
Important!:
It is the second contact image that is displayed for
both, but the first contact’s name that is used.
For example: If Amy (original entry) is joined with
Julie (second entry). Julie appears to disappear
and only Amy remains. Tap the Amy entry
(showing the Julie image) to view both.
5.
Tap the main linked contact to view the
contact information you linked. The contacts
and information displays with an icon next to
the contact name to indicate what type of
account information is contained in the entry.
