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. In the Publication in which you want to create the Local Address Book, select Audience Manager.
  3. Select Address Books and from the Ribbon toolbar Create tab, select New local Address Book.
    A New Address Book window opens.
  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 SDL Web System Administrator.
