Creating a Local Address Book

A Local Address Book contains a collection of Contacts imported from an external data source and typically consists of a list of e-mail addresses used for a one-time marketing action. Local Address Books are temporary and are not designed to be used to manage Contacts.

Before you begin

To create a Local Address Book, you need Contact Management rights.

Procedure

  1. Open the Content Manager Explorer.
  2. Navigate to the Publication > Audience Manager node.
  3. Select the Address Books node and click the Create New Local Address Book icon in the toolbar.
    A New Address Book window appears.
  4. On the General tab, enter:
    • The Name of the group—enter a logical name
    • The Key of the group—uniquely defines the Address Book at a database level
  5. Click Save and Close.

Results

A Local Address Book is created and added to the Address Books node. All users with Contact Management rights have Read/Write/Delete permissions on Contacts in the Address Book.

What to do next

When you have added a Local Address Book, you need to import Contacts into it. To delete the Local Address Book again, contact your Tridion System Administrator.
