Creating new records in the Android applications

Creating new contact records

When you create a new record in the Android contact application, the contact must be assigned to the account selected in DejaOffice (DejaOffice Settings > Sync Settings > Sync with Android Contacts > Accounts). Below are directions for creating a contact record in a specific Android account.

Please note: At this time Android devices do not have the capability to alter the account a contact record is associated with. To change the account a contact record is associated with, the record will need to be deleted and then recreated in the different account.
