Create contacts

Add a new contact to the Address Book so that person can receive notifications regarding the progress and outcome of FactoryTalk AssetCentre schedules, tasks, and other system-related events.
Contacts cannot be imported from another email program. More than one user can create contacts simultaneously.
Prerequisites
  • To create contacts, you must be granted
    View Address Book
     and
    Edit Address Book
    permissions.
To create contacts
  1. Do one of the following to open the
    New Contact
     dialog box:
    • Select
      View
       >
      Address Book
      , and then click the
      New
       button.
    • Select
      View
       >
      Address Book
      , click the dropdown arrow after the
      New
       button, and then select
      Contact
      .
    • Select
      Tasks
       >
      Add New Address Book Contact
      .
  2. Complete the information in the
    New Contact
     dialog box. For the contact to receive notifications, you must enter an email address.
    TIP:
    If in your existing email system you have a group with an existing email address (for example, a group of electricians with the email address
    AllElectricians@MyCompany.com
    ) to which you want to send notifications through AssetCentre, you can use that existing group's email address. Simply create a contact and give it a name (for example,
    Electricians
    ) and enter the group's email address (
    AllElectricians@MyCompany.com
    ) as the contact's default email address. The individual email addresses of the electricians group are not added to the FactoryTalk AssetCentre Address Book.
