Enterprise Edge 2.0 Personal Call Manager User Guide P0911958 Issue 01
Copying a contact
When you copy a contact, you create a new contact in the Address Book based on
the original contact. Enterprise Edge Personal Call Manager provides two ways to
copy a contact: a linked copy and a template copy. In the linked copy, all of the
information about the contact is copied. In a template copy, all of the information
about the contact except the contact name is copied. In both methods of copying,
the original contact remains in the original folder.
Deciding which copy method to use
The copy method you choose depends on what you want to do. Refer to the table
below to decide which copy method to use.
Copy Methods
For information about how to make a linked copy of a contact, refer to Copying a
contact using the linked copy method on page 69.
For information about how to make a template copy of a contact, refer to Copying
a contact using the template copy method on page 70.

Information
copied
The new contact contains the exact
same information as the original
contact.
The new contact has a different name
than the original contact. The other
contact information is the same.
Changes
are linked
Yes.
When you change one of the
properties of the contact, Enterprise
Edge Personal Call Manager
automatically updates the original
contact and all of the copies of the
contact.
No.
When you change one of the
properties of the contact, the other
copies are not changed.
Purpose
Use a linked copy when you want to
have identical copies of a single
contact in several different folders. You
do this to make the contact easier to
find and organize.
Use a template copy to create a new
contact that is similar, but not identical
to, an existing contact.
Example
You know a person who is your sales
representative and a member of your
baseball team. Put the original contact
in your Business folder and make a
linked copy of the contact in your
Personal folder. You can then find
contact information for this person
when you are looking for sales
representatives or baseball players. If
this person’s telephone number
changes, you can change either copy
of the contact and both copies are
updated.
A new person joins a company you
that you already have a contact for.
The address and telephone number of
the new contact is the same as the
existing contact, but the name is
different. To make a contact for the
new person, make a copy of the
existing contact and change the name.
