Adding new contacts one-by-one

By pressing the "New Contact" button, an inline editor opens above the address book entries table. The editor allows defining the address book entry's values. After entering all (necessary) data fields, press the "Save" button to persist the record. The "Cancel" button allows to discharge the entry and closes the editor without adding a record. When editing an existing record, the "Save" button is used to update the existing record, while the "Cancel"-button keeps the record unchanged.

Adding new contacts using a CSV file

Allows to do a mass import of several address book entries, e.g. by importing a file which is the export from another application.
The import format is "coma separated values" (CSV) file format (Detailled specification: RFC 4180) and can be created using a standard text editor. Also common spreadsheetapplications should be able to export CSV files.
The import CSV should have the following parameter, where structure (the first line row is required as column identifier, followed by one or multiple data rows):

Code Block
first name, last name, e-mail address, primary phone, business address, company 
Bob, Xyzmo, bob@xyzmo.mail, +55123551255, Companycenter 1, Namirial 1 Charly, Xyzmo, charly@xyzmo.mail, +55123551255, Companycenter 2, Namirial2

The button "CSV Template" allows to download an empty CSV template which just contains the header row but no data rows.
