When you double click an entry or select it and click edit then a dialog is opened in which you can make some changes. You cannot change entries created by someone else but you can add your own private entries to the phone book. Private entries will not be visible to others.

Het veld ‘Volledige naam’ hoeft niet ingevuld te worden; deze wordt samengesteld op basis van de velden ‘voornaam’ en ‘achternaam’. Klik daartoe op het de knop ‘Automatisch invullen’. Indien gewenst, kunt u dit veld aanpassen.

You can Autofill Display Name if you entered first and last name. It is possible to make this different from the first and last name. This allows to use formal names in the presentation and for searching only use a part of the name.
