# APC - Personal Outlook Contacts

The APC data source in SCA provides access to **the user’s personal Outlook contacts**. These contacts are fully managed by the user — unlike other data sources, users can **add, edit, and delete** them directly within SCA. Contacts are queried via the **Microsoft Graph API**, and are stored in the user’s personal Outlook contacts, **accessible and manageable from any Outlook client (Windows, Mac, Web, or mobile)**.

#### App Configuration Parameters

**Defaults (**[**`SecContacts.Defaults`**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults.md)**):**

* [**APC\_Enabled**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults.md#enable-or-disable-features) → Enables or disables the APC data source.
* [**APC\_InitValue**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults.md#initial-value-set-by-default) → Sets the default position of the user’s switch for this data source (on = shown, off = hidden) when SCA is first launched.
* [**APCeditor\_Enabled**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults.md#personal-contacts) → 🆕Enables or disables the ability for users to create, edit, and delete their personal Outlook contacts within SCA.

**Customization:**

* [**APCfolders\_Enabled**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults.md#personal-contacts) → 🆕Includes personal contacts stored in folders (not only root folder).
* [**APCfoldersCombine\_Enabled**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults.md#personal-contacts) → 🆕Combines contacts from all APC folders into a single data source. Set to `false` to display each folder separately.
* [**AllowContactWithoutPhoneNumberAPC\_Option**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults.md#personal-contacts) → 🆕Allows APC contacts without phone number
* [**APChighPrioCombine\_Option**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.defaults.md#personal-contacts) → 🆕Gives APC contacts the highest priority during contact merging.
* [**SecContacts.CustomDatasourceNames**](/documentation/app-configuration-policy-name-values-for-sca/sca-configuration-seccontacts.customdatasourcenames.md) → Assign friendly display names for the APC source.

#### Requirements for Contacts

Any personal Outlook contact to be shown in SCA **must have the following fields populated**:

1. **First name**
2. **Last name**
3. **Valid phone number** (optional)

**Note:** These contacts are fully managed by the user, and any changes made in SCA (add, edit, delete) are reflected in their personal Outlook contacts.

{% hint style="success" %}

* Each data source, including APC, can be **hidden by the user** if they do not want to see or use it.
* Hiding the APC data source does **not affect Caller Identification** — contacts from hidden sources will still resolve incoming calls.
* Unlike other sources, APC contacts are **fully user-managed**, not admin-managed.
