File Storage on the Local System

Contact Manager stores a number of different files in the install folder during and after it has processed address books.

These can be found in the following sub-folders:

• Logs
• Pending
• Processed
• Temp

Logs

After an import of address book(s), an action log is created. This log details what action was taken for each entry while processing. This action log is stored in the Logs folder. These files are given uniquely generated names. A copy of the last action log is also saved in the root install folder, called 'action.csv'.

It is these logs that are sent via email if the "Attach Log File" option on the Process settings tab is selected.

Pending

Address books that have been registered but have yet to be processed are stored in this folder. These files are renamed with a randomly generated name.

If a file is found in this folder that is not registered, a message will be displayed when Contact Manager starts and the file will be deleted.

Do not remove files from this folder directly – only delete registered address books by using the "Remove file" button on the Files Pending tab.

Processed

Address Book files that have been processed are stored in this folder.

Temp

This folder is used by Contact Manager when it is running should the need arise to create temporary files.

Contact Manager can actively manage the file store to prevent disk space becoming an issue. See File Storage Management for details on this.
