Copying a contact
When you copy a contact, you create a new contact in the Address Book based on the original contact. Enterprise Edge Personal Call Manager provides two ways to copy a contact: a linked copy and a template copy. In the linked copy, all of the information about the contact is copied. In a template copy, all of the information about the contact except the contact name is copied. In both methods of copying, the original contact remains in the original folder.
Deciding which copy method to use
The copy method you choose depends on what you want to do. Refer to the table below to decide which copy method to use.
