Questions
- Which column names are recognised?
- First Name, Last Name, Name, Email, Email2, Phone, Mobile, Work Phone, Home Phone, Company, Title, Website, Street, City, State, Zip, Country and Note, in any case and with or without spaces. If two columns mean the same thing, the first one is used and the other is listed as ignored.
- What if I only have one Name column?
- The full name is kept as it is. To fill the family and given name fields, the last word is taken as the family name and the rest as the given name. That is a guess, wrong for names like “Mary Anne van Dyke”, so use First Name and Last Name columns when the split matters.
- Should I choose 3.0 or 4.0?
- Version 4.0 follows RFC 6350. Version 3.0 is the older one that some apps still expect. The two files differ only in the VERSION line. If an app refuses one, try the other.
- What is left out, and is my file uploaded?
- Rows with no name, company or email are skipped, and an email without @, a phone number without a digit or a website with a space is left out with a warning. Long lines are folded to 75 bytes as the standard asks. Nothing is uploaded: the file is built in your browser. Up to 2,000 contacts at a time.
