Add missing fields

Open spoorun opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Currently the following fields are missing.

  • This limits vCard/CardDAV 4 interoperability.
  • It also limits business usage of the Contacts app.
  • (CAPITALS IN BRACKETS)=vCard property name.
  1. TO AUTO-DETERMINE WHERE POSSIBLE Kind (Organisation, Individual, Location (i.e. venue, premises), Group (automatic)) Logic
  • Individual - default type
  • Group type (if new group created)
  • Organisation (only if Organisation name entered and no Fullname entered)
  • Location (if user enters location info under 'Add Advanced' dropdown)

User can change the auto-assigned Kind by selected 'Kind' from the 'Add Advanced' dropdown. Once added, users can filter by Kind #465, making contact management simpler and more intuitive.

  1. TO ADD IN 'ADD FIELD' LIST
  • Gender (show suggestions: male, female, neutral, inter, x, and allow user-entered) (GENDER)
  • Interests (user-entered, multiple entries, comma-separated?) (INTEREST)
  • Related (can relate the contact to existing individual and organisation contacts, or other entities.) (RELATED) (see list for auto-completion at para 7 below)

  1. TO ADD NEXT TO PHONE NUMBERS Timezone per phone number (editable as small clock symbol next to phone numbers)

  2. CREATE AN 'ADD ADVANCED' DROPDOWN LIST This would ensure that Users have access to a full range of fields, which is critical for many business users, without cluttering the interface or bothering those who don't need it.

  3. TO ADD IN NEW 'ADD ADVANCED' LIST

  • Role (role within organisation such as Member, Client, or vocation, different to job title) (ROLE)
  • Account number (X-ACCOUNT)
  • Language (LANG)
  • Timezone for contact (auto-set by address entry, or set manually) (TZ)
  • Expertise (EXPERTISE)
  • Birthplace (BIRTHPLACE)
  • Key (encryption) (KEY)
  • Calendar (contact's calendar address) (CALURI)
  • Household (X-HOUSEHOLD)
  • Hometown (X-HOMETOWN)
  • Logo (for organisations, image upload)
  • Anniversary (ANNIVERSARY)
  • Location (GEO) to specify a specific location on a map (helps in rural areas in some countries or remote spots)
  • Agent (assistant etc) (AGENT)
  • Hobby (HOBBY)
  • Deathplace (DEATHPLACE)
  • Deathdate (can apply to dissolved organisations as well as deceased individuals) (DEATHDATE
  • Class (sensitivity) (CLASS)
  • Sound (for name etc..) (SOUND)
  • Free/Busy address (FBURL)
  • Scheduling email address (CALADRUR)
  • Kind (see above) (KIND)

  1. MAIDENNAME PROPERTY Sync CardDAV property MAIDENAME and X-MAIDENNAME to 'NAME, ALTID' For syncing compatability with other systems

  2. RELATED types RELATED items can be multiple, and can be free entry, but should have some suggested types (auto-complete?). And remember types entered previously?

  • Basic types: Partner, Business partner, Association, Friend, Family, Housemate, Classmate, Colleague, College, Pet, Offspring, Parent, Neighbour, Spouse, Employer, Assistants
  • Extended: Associate, Acquaintance, Next of Kin, Relative, School, Workmate, , Employee, Employer, Contractor, Contractee, Landlord, Tenant, Consultant, Constultee, Lawyer, Advisor, Client, Media agent, Members, Sibling

I have a question regarding this. My customer use CalDav Sync to sync directly from Outlook to Owncloud. So we had the problem that the company wasn't synced.

And the Contact groups aren't synced.
