It was a painful process to import data from Google Contacts. Also, as frankpc mentioned, OBi does not like more than one phone number for each contact.
Did you learn anything else insofar as the optimum format of the Google Contacts data? I appreciate your confirming that there should be just one number per line.
I am using the following fields for importing to Google Contacts from an offline "contacts list" I maintain:
Name, Given Name, Family Name, Group Membership, Phone 1 - Type, Phone 1 - Value
For example:
John Smith, John, Smith, *My Contacts, Mobile, 19135551212
All I know is that I got that to work. There could be several unnecessary fields listed there.
Also, I do not yet know which fields are used to display the name on the CID phone display. I am assuming the name comes from the "Name" field.
And I try to eliminate most punctuation within the fields.... No commas. No periods. (apostrophes & hyphens ??)
Thank you!
