Customize templates for new contacts

With customized templates for contacts, you can create contacts with ARM.

Templates for new contacts record the following three values:

• OU (organizational unit)
• Name
• Email address

You can only use templates for contacts in the Rich Client (not the Web client).

To display all information from contacts in ARM, you must configure the AD scan and the Exchange-Scan accordingly.
