Export contact details

Export a person's vCard to add them as a new contact.


A virtual card (vCard) is a file that stores basic contact information for a user, following the Internet Mail Consortium specification. You can add new contacts by using your e-mail system to import vCard files. You can also download the vCard from the Profiles business card.

When you download a vCard, you need to select the character encoding option that is appropriate for your address book reader. The default option is Internationalized (UTF-8), which is suitable for users of IBM Lotus Notes and Microsoft Outlook. However, you might need to select a different encoding if your e-mail client is Microsoft Outlook Express or Microsoft Windows Address Book. To save a colleague's vCard to your personal records, perform the following steps.

  1. Open the profile page for the person who you want to add as a contact.

  2. Click Download vCard.

  3. Select the character encoding to use.

  4. Click Download to save the person's vCard to a specified location.
