To my knowledge, there's no official protocol. Just use what makes sense to you. Be warned, though, that the "company" field seems to be ignored by iOS devices when you try to type in a contact. I set Apple as the company in a contact and left the name fields blank, and I suddenly couldn't call or email them at all. So, you may want to put the list name in the first or last name, and set the company to "email list" or something. Just my thoughts - again, I don't think there is any kind of official standard here. > On Jan 3, 2015, at 4:52 PM, Cheryl Homiak <[email protected]> wrote: > > I finally got fed up with all the chaos with contacts on phone, iPad and > computer, with lots of duplicates and outdated information still being mixed > with the new.
