Hi,

as discussed in the Boards (http://www.3cx.com/forums/post175146.html / http://www.3cx.de/topic/getrennte-firmen-telefonbucher/) - it would be nice to have multiple, seperated Phonebooks within 3CX. (V14)
Extension Group A got another Phonebook than Extension Group B, ...

thx

Multiple phonebooks are a good idea to arrange contact list according to need an emergency. IE 10 Support

The address book on the mobile app needs to have a filter to show only the desired contact list(s) (ex. 3CX, Gmail, Yahoo, Phone, etc.). Having thousands of contacts combined into a single view is a mess. And having to search for a contact every time defeats the purpose of the list. Please add a filter capability for the mobile app!

I support this, we have many different Teams in the NHS and each want their own Phone Book.

This is needed, especially when adding contacts into the system

3CX please create in the main Phonebook a sort of category of contact belonging and to be able to set for each interior which categories can consult !!

I have a customer who wants to have the group as contact to transfer the calls directly to the right group as needed for the users.

With the 3CX phone I can add group like contact. We can see all the phone contacts and so on.

It would be really nice to be able to apply a filter or choose the contacts we want to see.
If he had the opportunity to have favorites, we could select our contacts that we want to see.

Different Phonebooks with permissions? The Big Boss can have its own and no one can read the private entries.

possibility to export call logging name if the the name of the caller is inside the private address book of the extension of the employee. Some bosses in the end of the day want to see via pdf the name of the caller inside the call logging report but they don't want to share the address book of the company to the employee. The secretary fill her private address book and when I export call logging report to the boss, he is able to see the name of the caller inside the pdf because is present in the address book of one employee (his secretary in this example).

This would be great.
The perfect solution would be a phonebook for all users as global phonebook and a second phonebook for each group.
 
Can't wait for this to never happen
