Usage is straightforward. You can click the Add button to insert new records, or click the action buttons for each record to view, edit or delete them. There is a search box that lets you search for any string or number. And an Export button that lets you export to CSV your phonebook.

Phonebook entries will be searched in realtime when you type something on the Dial box, so it can be used as a company directory. It will also be searched when an inbound call is received. If the caller id matches one of the entries, it will use the name and picture of the contact for a call notification that will popup at the lower right hand of FOP2 screen as depicted in picture 1.
