Phone book is a directory to keep the contact numbers of all the users of the application. It lists the entries created in through the PaxFlow application as well as the entries imported from third party shift scheduling applications like Sling.
To view the Phone Book, Click Documents and select Phone Book. By default, it shows the list of all the contacts in an alphabetical order.
The phone book shows the following fields for each record:
Source of contact: Field to indicate whether the contact is imported from a third party application or created internally. If it is created internally, this field shows INTERNAL, else it shows the third party application name like SLING (as shown in the figure above).
Contact Name: Name or Identifier of the contact. This can be the name of a user, location etc.
Email ID: Email ID of the contact
Contact Number: Phone number of the contact
Status: Status of the contact - Active or Inactive
Note that the fields visible in the Phone Book depend on the viewport of the device used for viewing it. If the size of the viewport is small, some fields may be omitted.
