c. Contacts
The Contacts tab shows all synchronised users - primarily internal colleagues - to which you have been assigned to by the Teamwire administrator. The users are sorted by their last name.
Make use of the search bar located atop the list of contacts to find your colleagues. Enter their name or parts of their name to see all user accounts matching your current input.
Import contacts
To import contacts, make use of the app's menu bar (or use the menu next to your name and avatar) and select Teamwire > Contacts > Import Contacts. The following formats are supported for import: vCard / vcf, Google CSV and Outlook CSV. Click on the format concerned to import and select the file using your file explorer.
The imported users will appear in your contact list if the following requirements are fulfilled::
- The email address matches the contact's user account
- Your Teamwire administrator has enabled communication with external contacts
- The contacts are logged in to the same Teamwire server (backend)
Block a user
When you block a user, they will not be able to create a 1:1 chat with you, or write messages to any existing 1:1 chats. If you are participating in a group chat with a blocked user, their messages will not be displayed to you.
To block a user, open their profile and click on Block user. Their profile will show an icon to Unblock user, if you have already blocked them. Thus you will be able to revoke a block. Alternatively, open the list of all blocked contacts via Profile > Blocked contacts and unblock them there.
Your Teamwire administrator is able to prohibit the blocking of users. If the feature is not available to you, it may has been disabled.
