Adding an entry using the IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 application

Find information about how to add entries in the application and learn rules for certain fields.

The Add an Entry page allows users to add entries to the directory. Links to the page only appear to users if an administrator has previously set up the application with open enrollment. If open enrollment is not set up, links are not provided and non-administrative users may not use the Add an Entry page. Entries added using the Add an Entry page can contain information such as name, location, and contact information. Once an entry has been created, users can search for and view the listing information for the entry.

To add an entry to the IBM® Telephone Directory V5.2 application, perform the following steps:

Access the IBM Telephone Directory application by entering the following URL in your Web browser:
```
http://your.server.name:port/ibm-bizApps/welcome/home.do
```
where your.server.name is the name of the server where IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 is installed and port is the port number that was specified during installation.
Click IBM Telephone Directory.
Click Add an Entry.
On the Add an Entry page, enter the appropriate criteria. There are two sections of entry criteria: new entry information and listing information.
- New entry information is used to create the entry. After the entry is created, this information cannot be updated (except for the entry password). See New entry information for more information.
- Listing information is collected and stored with the new entry after it is created, and is displayed when users lookup the directory information. Listing information may be updated after the entry is created, if the administrator allows users to update existing directory entries. If users are not allowed to update existing directory entries, only administrators may update listing information. See Listing information for more information.
Click Submit. You will be notified if the entry was added successfully.

Notes:

Passwords are not required. Entries that do not have a password may provide listing information but cannot be used to log in.
While specifying information, if at any point you want to start over, click Reset. You will be given a chance to cancel the reset before it continues. If you proceed, the page will be reset, all information will be cleared, and you can proceed to start over.
