Saving the vCards makes them available to you immediately without needing to go to the Griffith Phone Book. If you are using software which supports vCards, you can save vCards for commonly-used contacts by clicking the "Add vCard to Contacts" button. VCards are useful for software which stores contacts or has an "address book" style feature.

The Griffith Phone Book produces a vCard which can be saved or opened directly, depending on your computer's settings. Although some general usage guidelines are included below, if you are experiencing difficulties in importing the file into your electronic address book then you should contact the area normally responsible for assisting you with your mail/calendaring/contacts software (Lotus Notes, OutLook, Mobile Phone/PDS software, etc).įor example, Griffith University staff may contact InfoServices for support with Lotus Notes. Support for using vCardsĬontact details are provided in the standard vCard format and support is not offered for anyone experiencing issues with the file format or contents.

A vCard contains contact details for a specific person in the same way that a hardcopy business card. VCards are essentially electronic business cards. This service translates the contact details into a downloadable file that can then be used to add contacts into your electronic address book. Having found the contact details of a staff member or a University unit, it is now possible to store these details in a standard electronic format (vCard).
