NOTE: The Personal Contacts will not be synchronized Contacts_IPBrick The contacts with the field Department defined to Contacts_IPBrick has the contacts and entities from IPBrick Contacts. The IPBrick Contacts is organized with entities and contacts. The entities and contacts are shared. Each entity represents a company, an organization, or something that represents a group of people. So, each entity have contacts, which represents the persons. An user to access IPBrick Contacts must have to authenticate according with the local definitions of authentication and it needs to have a profile that permits. So IPBrick Contacts have a profile system that define profiles to read, write or administrate contacts and/or entities. At Client, contacts of an entity have the field Company with the name of entity. An entity appears with field Full Name not defined. To add a contact, create a contact with field Department set to Contacts_IPBrick with field First and/or Last defined. The field Company define which entity the contact belongs. If this field is not defined the contact belongs to the entity by default named Others (name by default). To add an entity, create a contact with field Department set to Contacts_IPBrick with First and/or Last not defined and the field Company must have the entity name. Entities created at this client will be create in the IPBrick Contacts with entity type by default Generic (name by default). The modifications are synchronized. If you remove an entity at the Client this modification will not be synchronized. The modifications are synchronized according with profiles defined at IPBrick Contacts Contacts_LDAPUsers The contacts with with the field Department defined to Contacts_LDAPUsers has the s of the users on authentication system (LDAP or Active Directory). The contacts are read-only, Page 20 / 21
