Contact Import & Export

Contact Import & Export is where you are able to import, export, and delete bulk contacts for use in Agent Desktop. Note that this section replaces and removes the Bulk Export/Import Contacts feature from the Agent Desktop Search & Preview Records screen. Note that contact information may be retrieved via the Scenario Builder's application's Bright Pattern Search Object block.
