To create a shared address book or synchronize contacts between multiple client Viewer modules, open the Address Books window in the Tools menu of the Viewer’s main menu on the main window.
There are two options, the first option is to create a shared file and use it in several Viewers and the second option is synchronization via NOIP, let us consider both options.
Creation of a shared address book file.
Export the contacts from an already existing address book using the main Tools menu, Export connections. This file can also be fetched from the program data “ C:\ProgramData\LiteManager Files,» file connections_3.4.xml.
Add the file as an address book in different Viewers, click Add, enter the name of the address book and file location. Set the read-only access to all Viewers except the main one, which can modify the data in the file.
After clicking OK, the address book will be added to the list. Set the auto-refresh interval if the data in the contact book will be changed dynamically.
The second way to sync your contacts through NOIP is more advanced and functional – since putting up a shared file for all Viewers is not always possible it’s more convenient to use the synchronization through NOIP.
First we need to allow contact synchronization on NOIP by checking the Address book synchronization box, for added security, enter the security code.
Now enable the address book synchronization and specify the IP address, the NOIP port and enter the security code, if applicable, then click OK.
The main address book will be synchronized with NOIP, the address book file will appear next to NOIP.
Perform the same address book synchronization actions for the second and the third Viewer, if necessary, set the read-only access so that the Viewer was unable to change the address book.
To restrict Viewer access to specific contacts, create address book users and link them to the connections and groups. Open the context menu of a connection or a group, and then click Rights of the Address Book Users. Create a new address book user by clicking Create, then New, specify name and password and then add it as an object user.
To synchronize only certain contacts for Viewer, set User access (read only) and enter username and password of the address book user, whose contacts and groups you need to access.
As a result, only the groups and connections linked to this user will be synchronized.
To close full access for other Viewers, enter the password for full access in the Administrator field (full access).
After everything is set, you may need to store several different address books on NOIP, to do this enter the address book index.
Attention! A synchronized address book will be stored on NOIP, to delete it stop the NOIP application and remove the address book file.
