This feature is available only in Project KickStart Professional.

If you use Microsoft Outlook to maintain your contacts, and many of the people on your project are not in your personal contacts folder in Outlook, you can use our new utility to import these Outlook contacts via CSV to the People Library.

To export Outlook contacts to a CSV file:

1. In Outlook - Click File/ Import and Export / Export to A File and click Next
2. Select Comma Separated Values (Windows) and click Next
3. Select the Contacts folder to export and click Next
4. Save Exported File As, with the default being your My Documents folder.
5. Click Next

To import Outlook contacts to the People Library:

1. Be sure that you exit Project KickStart before running the Import Utility
2. Run ImportCSVToPKS.exe, which is located in the Project KickStart application folder.
3. Browse or type the Contacts CSV file (the path is My Documents\Project KickStart Projects folder by default)
4. Browse or type the pks5lib.xdat file (default is the Project KickStart application folder)
5. Click on Import

Note

• Importing contacts and users to the People Library does not remove them from Outlook.
