Automatically saving addresses to your address book
When you enter new recipient addresses on labels, you can have them automatically added to your address book.
- Select Settings > Preferences.
- Select Always save new recipient addresses while creating a shipping label.
- If this is checked, then the “Save Address” option will not be shown when creating a label and all recipient addresses will be automatically added to your contacts.
- If this is not checked, then the "Save Address" option will be shown when creating a label so that you can choose each time whether you wish to save the recipient address in your contacts.
Setting the default sender address
You can set the default sender (from) address used for shipping labels and stamps.
- Select Settings > Preferences.
- Under Default sender address, select the address book icon, then select the desired address.
- (Optional) To have the system remember your last-used sender address, select Use the sender address from my most recent label for each new label.
Preventing users from managing shared contacts
Enterprise administrators can prevent users from managing shared contacts. If this setting is enabled, users will only be able to create, edit, and delete their private contacts.
Only enterprise administrators can access this setting.
- Select Settings > Address Book.
- Select the Contact Settings tab.
- Select the slider next to Don’t allow user to manage shared contacts to turn it on.
Linking Your Office 365 Address Book
You can link your Office 365 address book to ShipAccel so that you can use those addresses on shipping labels and envelopes.
