Contacts
DejaContacts is an address book focused on productivity and maximizing screen space for information display. The image on the right shows you how your Contact List appears in DejaOffice.
Each contact displays phone number, company name, contact photo, and color-coded category. The information displayed is more comprehensive than the built-in Contacts app on Android devices.
Swipe up and down the contact list to scroll, or swipe along the right edge of the screen for accelerated scrolling.
Add New Contact
Tap the plus symbol up in the top-right corner to add a new contact.
The add contact screen lets you input name, multiple phone numbers, email addresses and addresses, company name, and much more. You can also assign the Contact to one or more Categories from this screen.
By default the Contact Edit will load the "Quick Edit" with just a few fields shown. To see All Fields, tap the "More" option at the bottom of the edit.
To save your new contact, tap the check mark symbol in the top-right corner.
