Creating an Address Book

An Address Book contains a collection of Contacts that have shared ownership.

Before you begin

To create or manage an Address Book you must have the System Administration privilege.

Procedure

  1. Open Content Manager Explorer.
  2. In the Shortcuts area, select the Audience Management node.
  3. In the Administration tab of the Ribbon toolbar, select New Address Book.
    A New Address Book window appears.
  4. On the General tab, enter:
    • The Name of the group—for example, Belgium Contacts
    • The Key of the group—uniquely defines the Address Book at a database level (required when importing Contacts or when Contacts subscribe themselves via a Web site) for example, BE
  5. Click the Save and Close button on the toolbar.

Results

SDL Web creates the Address Book and add it to the Audience Management node.

What to do next

When you have added an Address Book you need to make it available to users by assigning it to Publications. You do this in the Audience Management tab of a Publication.
