Address books contain a collection of information regarding remote hosts you connect to. The purpose of the address book is to provide a central and easy way to access computers and hosts you use. An entry in a book describes the address of the remote computer and the protocol to use to connect with along with user credentials. Passwords can be optionally stored and configured for manual entry for security precautions. Address books may be nested to any degree for ease of use. For example, entries can be organized by department, region, country, or any other way that defines your enterprise. Two types of address books are available:
The remote control manager defines this address book.
This address book is defined and customized by the local user of the viewer computer. It appears in both centrally managed and stand-alone environments. You can populate the local address book by dragging and dropping address books and computers from the Global Address Book pane into the Local Address Book pane or by simply creating your own entries manually. Additionally, you can import and export local address books.
Note: You cannot drag address books or individual computers from the Local Address Book pane into the Global Address Book pane.
You can also import and export local address books. An address book consists of an XML file, which the Import/Export feature modifies appropriately so that this file can be used in its new location. An imported address book either merges its data into an existing local address book or replaces the local address book.
Note: The content of encrypted fields in an address book is protected, enabling the content of the address books to be shared among users without compromising security.
Note: A computer can be a member of multiple address books.
