Background information

Yeastar Phonebooks feature allows you to create phonebooks to group company contacts in an organized way and implement robust control over users' access to each phonebook.

Yeastar P-Series PBX System supports two types of phonebooks:
  • PBX-native company phonebook: The phonebooks that store company contacts added from PBX web portal and Linkus UC Clients.

    You can manually create phonebooks to group company contacts.

  • Third-party company phonebook: The phonebooks that store company contacts synchronized from the third-party system integration.

    If you schedule the synchronization of contacts from the integrated system, all the synced contacts will be grouped into a phonebook with a unique identifier, and the phonebook can't be modified or deleted unless you disconnect the integration.
