Adding a contact

Much of the contact data you add in Gmail will translate directly to Plaxo. I call this data "Basic" data.
Basic data includes:

• Display Name
• Default Email (*matches Work Email 1 or Personal Email 1)
• Notes (**)
  
• Personal
• Email 1 (*alternate default)
• Email 2
• Email 3
• IM
• Phone 1
• Phone 2
• Mobile Phone
• Fax
• Street Address
• Other (**)
  
• Work
• Email 1 (*primary default)
• Email 2
• Email 3
• IM
• Phone 1
• Phone 2
• Mobile Phone
• Pager
• Fax
• Company
• Job Title
• Street Address
• Other (**)
  
• Other
• Phone 1
• Fax
• Street Address
• Other (**)
  

(**)Plaxo4Gmail also recognizes many Plaxo/Outlook fields in the "Other" select choice and in the "Notes" field in Gmail.

Data that has unique field descriptions are known as "Extended" data. P4G's recognition of these field descriptions makes Plaxo and Gmail nearly 100% compatible. The Gmail "Other" data field will not map to Plaxo unless it has a field description. The field description does not get interpreted as contact data, only the information after the colon.

Extended data includes:

• Personal
• Other:
• Web Page:[url]
• Anniversary:[mm/dd/yyyy]
• Birthday:[mm/dd/yyyy]
• Spouse:[text]
• Work
• Other:
  
• Web Page:[url]
  
• Assistant:[text]
• Asst. Phone:[number]
• Department:[text]
• Manager:[text]
• Other
• Other:
  
• Skype ID:[text]
• Skype In:[text]
• Nickname:[text]
• Categories:[text, text, text...]

Finally, there is some incoming data from Plaxo that doesn't need to be mapped. I call this data "Read Only".

Read Only data includes:

• Personal
• Other:
  
• Photo URL:[url]
• Work
• Other:
  
• Photo URL:[url]
• Other
• Other:
  
• Plaxo ID:[number]
