Chapter 3: FaxFinder Client Software Operation 

CSV contact lists can be created in many applications (MS Outlook, MS Excel, Notepad, etc.).  In general, 
those contact lists may contain information that does not fit directly into the format of the FaxFinder’s New 
Contact

 screen.   

 
Suppose a useful CSV file exists but its contents (data fields) are not in the same order as data in the 
New Contact

 screen.  Or suppose that useful CSV file contains extra information beyond the fields of the 

New Contact screen.  In such cases, you will have to create a template file (with file extension .yml) that 
properly maps the useful information from that CSV file into the format of the New Contact screen. 
 
1.  Consider a CSV file that has been exported from MS Excel. 

Compare the field structure of this file to that of the New Contact screen of the FaxFinder client Address 
Book. 

 

Because this CSV file contains extra fields (like “Position” and “Cell Phone”) that are not in the FaxFinder 
Address Book New Contact screen, a new template will need to be created to map its information into 
the FaxFinder Address Book.
