We are running iNotes 8.5.1 and have some users transitioning to Gmail. Is there a way to export contact from iNotes to a vCard or .csv file?

Subject: It can be done with some effort

  1. Copy the following Design elements from the Personal Address Book template (pernames.ntf)a.) The Script library: vCardLib

b.) Copy and rename the script library StringResources to “StringResources2”,

c.) The shared action: “Forward vCard”

d.) The image resource: vcardforward_person.gif

  1. Add the shared action Forward vCard to the (My Contacts) view in the mail file. Protect the view from being overwritten by the design task by selecting the “Prohibit Design refresh or replace to modify” option in the view properties

NOTES:

–In Designer 8.5.1, you select the view in the list of all the views, and change this in the Properties panel → Design tab.

–In the future, when you upgrade to new versions of the mail template, you will need to uncheck the prohibit option and repeat the same design changes after the view design has been upgraded to the new version.

  1. Open the script library vCardLib and change the (Options) to now Use “StringResources2”

NOTE: This design element should already be protected from design refresh.

When you open the “(My Contacts)” view of the user’s mail file, you should now see the new action “Forward vCard” available in the action bar.
