This is how the Contacts App works
Overview
Following successful registration, you will be redirected to the contact overview. All contacts from your bexio account are displayed here.
Good to know: The contacts are also available to you
without Internet connection!
You can search for the following criteria in the search field:
- First & last name
- Company name
- Email address
- Telephone & mobile number
Private and company contacts are distinguished by color:
Green: Company
Blue: Private
Add New Contact
Click on the "plus symbol (+)" to create a new contact.
Edit contacts
In the relevant contact, click on the "pencil symbol".
This is how to sync your contacts
Your contacts will automatically sync when the app opens.
To sync your contacts manually, drag your list all the way down until the "loading circle" is completely visible.
Synchronization
The synchronization is one-sided, which means:
All contacts you add to your bexio account can be downloaded into the app but not the other way around. No contacts can be added to the app. The initialsynchronization, after logging in with the bexio account, takes place automatically. After that, synchronization must be performed manually.
You can synchronize the current changes from your bexio account (desktop version) with the app at any time using the Sync button 
. So all contacts can be kept up to date. (Note: This requires an internet connection)
Contacts
You will find the information you have entered about your customers and suppliers in the contacts.
Interactive fields:
The upper contact area, with the symbols on the right, is interactive. The following functions are available directly from our app, provided that the necessary information has been saved:
Send email
Make a call
Send message
Visit website
Open location on map
Copy information:
Information from the interactive fields can be copied to the clipboard by keeping it pressed for a longer time. "Text content copied to clipboard" appears.
Menu
The menu is accessed via the symbol with three horizontal lines.
You can switch between "My contacts" and "My companies" here.
-> You can manage which company you want to add or remove under "My companies".
