Address Book overhaul

The Address Book has been redesigned to handle large numbers of contacts and to make it easier to use. We can now import addresses from a csv file. Anyone interested in loading all of their addresses from one file, rather than typing them in one at a time, can contact us for the required file format and to arrange for the import.

If your address book contains less than 100 contacts, you'll still see them when you call up the address book from the Rate page. You'll be able to search by name or zip code. If you have more than 100 contacts in your address book, you won't see any contacts at first. You'll have to search and your contacts will be displayed for searches with less than 100 results. In either case, start typing a zip code or customer name and the results will update as you type. Press enter to select the first contact in the list, or use your up and down arrow keys to highlight another contact, then press enter to select it. You can also click on the contact with your mouse to select it.

The interface for adding, editing and deleting contacts, found in the Settings tab, has also been updated to handle more items. The list of contacts is now paged. 20 items will show on each page. Use the previous and next buttons to move through the list, or search the list to find a specific name or zip code. This section doesn't search as you type, so click search or press enter to start the search.
