Global Contacts
Global contacts allows the system administrator to establish and maintain a contact list of all users on the BluStar system
that is readily available to users from the BluStar 8000i terminal. This list is referred to on the terminals as the Global
Address Book (GAB). GAB contacts can be assigned to categories (folders) if desired. The system administrator may also
control whether or not the GAB may be enabled for viewing - as well as which users or user groups may access the GAB
contacts. The system administrator can also populate the GAB by importing a delimited text file of contacts generated
outside of the Web UI. The Global Contacts main page contains three icons as shown below:
• Global Contact Editor
• Global Contacts Access Lists
• Global Contacts Import
• Global Address Book Sync
Global Contact Editor
The Global Contact Editor main page provides the means to filter the list of contacts in the GAB. The list can be filtered
and sorted by either first or last name, and by folder name. The number of records listed per page can also be set. This
page also provides the system administrator with buttons to View, Edit, Add, and Delete contacts for the Global
Address Book (GAB).
Note:
GAB access is disabled by default. To allow users to view the GAB, click the [Enable Global Address Book Viewing]
button at the bottom of the Global Contact Editor page.
Notes:
• Updating a large Global Address Book (greater than 2000 entries) can have a momentary adverse impact on BluStar
8000i terminals. BluStar 8000i users logging in will experience a brief delay.
• Updates to the Global Address Book are immediately reflected to all logged-in BluStar 8000i users and can momen-
tarily impact call quality or cause delays in dialing operations. Updates to the Global Address Book should be done
off-hours to minimize the impact on BluStar 8000i users.
