APC - Personal Outlook Contacts

[APC]

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):

• APC_Enabled → Enables or disables the APC data source.

• APC_InitValue → Sets the default position of the user’s switch for this data source (on = shown, off = hidden) when SCA is first launched.

• APCeditor_Enabled → 🆕Enables or disables the ability for users to create, edit, and delete their personal Outlook contacts within SCA.

Customization:

• APCfolders_Enabled → 🆕Includes personal contacts stored in folders (not only root folder).

• APCfoldersCombine_Enabled → 🆕Combines contacts from all APC folders into a single data source. Set to false to display each folder separately.

• AllowContactWithoutPhoneNumberAPC_Option → 🆕Allows APC contacts without phone number

• APChighPrioCombine_Option → 🆕Gives APC contacts the highest priority during contact merging.

• SecContacts.CustomDatasourceNames → 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.

• 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.
