The web app Contacts is a user interface for the CardDAV server within the Collaboration Cloud. It allows you to easily synchronise your contacts from different devices with the Collaboration Cloud and edit them online.

• 🎉 Never forget a birthday again! You can sync birthday and other upcoming events with your calendar.
• 👥 Share address books! Want to share your contacts with friends and acquaintances? No problem!

You can use a web browser to access the “Contacts” web app in the Collaboration Cloud at Jade University of Applied Sciences at https://ccs.jade-hs.de/apps/contacts. You may have to activate this web app first under Settings / App order.

Apple iOS: In Apple iOS, the CardDAV client is already integrated in the operating system.

On your iOS device, tap “Settings / Passwords & Accounts / Add Account / Other / Add CardDAV Account”.

Configure it with the following settings:

• Server: ccs.jade-hs.de
• Username: default login (form: ma1150)

Configure this with the following settings:

• Log in with URL and username

• Account name: your email address
• Contact group method: Groups are categories of contacts.

Following this, you may still need to go to the CardDAV app and select the menu item “Re-detect address books” and then activate the address books that appear.

You will then find your contacts in the Contacts app on your smartphone.
