Business iPhone / Personal iPhone Coexistance

I have been an iPhone user for about five years. Most of my life and information is organized on my iPhone. It seems best to keep personal and business separate, but the best practices for time and life management, e.g. Franklin-Covey, say to have one location and one system for organizing. What are your thoughts / experiences in determining the best tradeoffs? Business calendar and personal calendar? Apple ID(s)? Contacts? Etc?

I have one phone. You can sync contacts and calendars with multiple sources and have multiple email accounts set up on it. I sync personal contacts and calendars with iCloud and my business contacts and calendar with the corporate Exchange server. When I'm on vacation, I simply turn off the Exchange email so it doesn't intrude on my time.
I also use Google Voice for business related calls and give out my Google voice number to people at work who need a cell phone # for me. As an added benefit, GV can be configured to display the GV phone # in caller ID instead of the incoming number so I immediately know if it's work related or personal, and it lets me set time limits on when GV calls will be forwarded to my phone. I don't take business calls after hours or weekends unless I'm on call. The free GV app makes it easy to make outgoing calls that display my GV phone number instead of letting call recipients get my actual cell phone number that way.
It's the best of both worlds for me. All the information is visible in one place for me, but still technically separate and easy to manage when I only want a subset of it.

I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

I have business and personal e-mail accounts with different contacts. Can I have more than one address book on my iPhone?

Set up an additional user account and use one for work and one for personal stuff - each will have a separate address book. Turn on fast user switching for easy switching between the two.

Is there a way to not allow an employee to send texts on the business iPhone using their personal iCloud account?

I work for a company that issues business iPhones to our sales representatives so that they can easily communicate with our customers in their territories and have access to many helpful resources.
One of our sales reps recently went on to work for a different company (our competition). When we were getting his company phone ready for the next representative that would take over his territory, we discovered that he had been using his iCloud account to text customers for the past 2-3 months instead of the phones number. Unfortunately this means he still has access to all of our customers via his personal iCloud account, and they are probably still texting him for their product needs.
We aren't sure if this was intentional or not, but is there anything we can do to keep things like this from happening in the future? A way to keep the sales rep from using their personal iCloud address to send and receive texts on the company phones?
Thanks!

Same apple id on home iphone and business iphone

My work is making me get a second phone. I will be getting an iphone, but want to somehow consolidate the mess. I will have two phone numbers, but one apple id (same person, so same contacts, etc). By using the same apple id am i able to consolidate imessage onto one phone? I know i can forward calls from one phone to the other, but I am confused as to the implications for imessage.

You're welcome.
There is a preference setting with iMessage on each iPhone or iOS device used with the same Apple ID which phone numbers and email addressees registered with iMessage can be recieved on each device along with a send new iMessage from selection on each device.
I have my business cell phone number selected to send from with iMessage on my business iPhone and my personal cell phone number selected to send from on my personal iPhone with the ability to receive iMessages with phone numbers available with iMessage on each so iMessages with both numbers are kept synced on each iPhone.
If you do the same and someone sends an iMessage to your personal cell phone number when using your business iPhone, you will receive it and when replying to that received message it will appear as sent from your personal iPhone and vice versa. When starting a new message not with an existing conversation on your business iPhone, it will appear as being sent from your business number and vice versa.

How do I keep my iTunes music when i give up my business iPhone when leaving employer

I originally setup a i Cloud I.D. account when i received a new iPhone from my employer. I personally purchased music from iTunes and have it also available through iTunes for Windows on my home PC.
I will be leaving my job and returning the business iPhone back to my employer. The phone will be redistributed to a new salesperson to setup for his purposes.
My questions are:
"Will my existing i Cloud and iTunes be terminated or deleted when it is set up by the new employee assigned the phone?"
"How can I continue to enjoy my purchased music without an apple device?"
"What happens to my current i Cloud I.D. when I give up the iPhone?
"My current i Cloud I.D. has my personal CC on file for Apps and iTunes, how do i delete this account and create a new I.D. to store my i Tunes?"

Brian,
Turning in the phone does not necessarily mean giving them control of the account. If you can do so, keep the iTunes account, and as soon as you can, change the password.
Whether you do or don't keep the account, make sure that you have a copy of the music song files on your own personal computer. It is normal AAC audio that can be played on a range of devices. I repeat: make sure you have a copy of the song files in your possession!!!!

How to get Photostream from 'business' iPhone to 'family' iCloud-account

Has anyone found a solution for this yet ?
There must be numerous pleople having this same problem :
I have a (in my opinon rather standard) setup in which I have a private iCloud-account on my 'business devices' (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro) and I have a shared iCloud-account on our 'family' Mac.
Now I would like to arrange things the way that's most logical to me :
I want my business devices to sync the more 'business-like' iCloud services :
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
(Bookmarks is less important)
Documents & Data
Back to My Mac
Find My Mac
iTunes Store
Mac App Store
But I want my business devices to Photostream to our 'family' Mac's, since that's the device where our (only complete) iPhoto-library is on...
Now there seems to be no way to do so since :
- iCloud automatically uses the same iCloud-account for Photostream, Documents & Data, Back to My Mac and Find My Mac (only for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, iTunes and Mac App Store it is optional to use a different iCloud-account)
- setting up my business iCloud-account as the secondary iCloud-account on all my business devices would be completely un-logical and would not allow me to keep (especially) my Documents & Data 'business' ; they will be visible on our 'family' Mac, which is completely off bounds for my employer and my clients...
Has anyone found a solution to this ?
(or will this be solved in OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion maybe ?)
options I have thought about, but I couldn't get working yet :
- running a second installation of iPhoto on our 'family' Mac
- running both iPhoto and Aperture on our 'family' Mac
- getting the Photostream from my 'business' iCloud.com into our 'family' Mac by subscribing to the URL
- setting up one-and-the-same Eye-Fi account on my 'business' iPhone & iPad and on our 'family' Mac
- searching for a 3rd-party Mac-app that can read and/or import the 'business' Photostream info our 'family' iPhoto
- something involving Photoshop Elements 10 Organiser...
Any help would be helpful.
Thanks !

Thank you for your reply Winston.
very interesting info, too bad however that Dropbox doesn't do auto-import into iPhoto...
I might have figured out a way to do this using Eye-Fi (free account, free iOS-app & free Mac-app ; by SanDisk) :
Eye-Fi seems to do auto-upload from iPhone/iPad, auto-transfer to a Mac (over WiFi, and if needed even over 3G it seems), and auto-import into iPhoto...
...it can even handle video upload (which iCloud Photostream can't)
and it has 'free temporary online viewing' with Eye-Fi View (which is kind-of like MobileMe Gallery...)
(and some payed extensions that are less interesting in my opinion)
...I'm testing right now if Eye-Fi works for me.
(Maybe I still need to combine it with Dropbox's auto-upload though...)
Thanks !
Note : Eye-Fi even has an option to upload to MobileMe... too bad MobileMe is no longer available... hopefully there will be integration with iCloud in the near future...

How do I unlock one of my business iPhones which was given back to me without wiping its contents

You either contact the previous user for their icloud credentials or contact Apple and provide proof of ownership.

Business iPhone?

I am here to offer thanks to Apple for creating such an AWESOME! ( for lac of a better word ) business iPhone, I wasn't 100% sure if I could have my corporate email sent to the phone after all the lies about iPhone not being a business phone. After contacting my I.T. group at my company and getting the settings squared away.. I am here to say, yes! its an awesome business phone and works FLAWLESS!
Also: After the latest update ( 2.0), my emails come to my iPhone just as fast as my blackberry... The crackberry is gone & I am happy to say...
NOT 2 SHABBY APPLE, I AM VERY IMPRESSED.

If you use Outlook, there is a web access to your corporate email. Since iPhone has VPN, if you connect via VPN, then you should be able to access Outlook via web.
While it is not the same as the push mail service that BB or MS offers, and it does not sync your calendar automatically, at least you can get to your office email.
My sense is that there are ways, only if your IT department is willing to work with you, because it is not a "standard issue" smartphone. Plus most IT departments has big concerns with iTunes (not for security but appropriate use of corporate resources and assests).

Separate business and personal contacts/calendar on Exchange enabled phone?

I'm a new iPhone user (3gsi) with Exchange support enabled. What I would like to do is manage my business and personal contacts and calendar separately with work items syncing with Exchange and personal items with something else (like Google Calendar/Contacts). Is it possible to separate this way and possibly even manage it all together using the existing calendar and contact apps? I am not interested in the MobileMe service.
Example - I add a personal contact and I dont want it to sync with Exchange, but Google contacts would be nice. Or I add a calendar item that I want to sync with Google calendar instead of Exchange.
Thx!

With an Exchange account syncing business contacts and calendar events over the air, you can also sync personal contacts and calender events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can view business and personal contacts and calendar events combined or separately on the iPhone.
With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007. With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book and iCal.
Or you can sync personal contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account while doing the same for business contacts and calendar events with an Exchange account.
You can access a Gmail account as an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the iPhone's Mail client, which provides for syncing personal contacts and calendar events over the air, but you can't access two Exchange accounts via ActiveSync with the iPhone's Mail client. This is not supported with ActiveSync with a Windows Mobile device either.

Keeping Business and Personal Contacts Separate?

I have a MS Exchange account at work and use Entourage for my personal contacts on my home computer.
Would it be possible to have both sets of info sync to my phone? I know the iphone has active sync for the Exchange data but then, would it be possible to sync with my home computer without having them then uploaded to my company's exchange server next time activesync connects?
I imagine a lot of people would want to do something like this??

Mass Upload of Business Partner (Person) with/or Attribute Values

Platform: CRM 4.0sr1 SP8, backend R/3 4.6c
I have created an eCATT to upload Business Partners (Person), with Relationship Contact Person for pre-existing BPs (replicated from R/3 4.6 backend) and then chaineded another eCATT that assigns an Attribute Set to the newly created Contact Person.
However, I can only find the manual method to assign our newly created attribute sets/values via the CRM transaction CRMD_PROF_BP
I looked at the expert tools CRMD_MKT_TOOLS, but they all seem to work with assigning the information to the BPs after they're added to a Target Group.
So, how do I either upload the info directly (I am unfamiliar with FM's/Programming and how to use them if anyone suggests one, so please be specific) or create a target group that includes a this new set of Contact Person BP numbers?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Mike,
The bottom line you try to achive is populate target group based on attributes
of each BP right?
Here, I try to give you alternatives:
1. Without assign attributes to BP, and assume you have the attributes assigned
 already in R/3 (or the information already saved in BP R/3 somewhere). Use
 tcode CRMD_MKTDS from CRM, here you define external source of your
 target attributes. Define RFC connection to R/3 and retreive infoset from R/3.
 If you have BW connecto to CRM, this can be used as well.
2. Or, you have lists of BP in MS-Excel file, for example Region1.Xls contains all
 BPs with region = 1 and Region2.xls contains all BPs with region = 2.
 Now, in Profile Set segmentation, create Target group and retreive all BP from
 excel file. Right click on that new target group and choose Target Group
 properties, Open tab Load File and Create New target group. then follow the
 rest steps until you get the target group with BP according to each file you
 have.
3. Last alternative, which you may avoid as you are not familiar with programming.
 Use Function module CRM_ISA_BP_CHAR_VALUES_SAVE to save BP
 attributes.
Tell me if this is what you looking for.

How to change Business partner PERSON in GTS system

Hi,
I have developed an program to create business partner (Person, Contact person and Organization). But now I have to include code for changing Business partner.
I have used BAPI_BUPA_FS_CREATE_FROM_DATA2 BAPI for Person creation. But now I am not finding any BAPI to change PERSON business partner.
Let me know a BAPI or any other way to change PERSON BP.
Thanks
Atanu Das

Hi experts,
I am facing the exact same issue and was wondering:
1. Are there specific authorization objects that I can use to limit access on the web UI based on BP roles? I found authorization object B_BUPA_RLT. But does this work for just SAP GUI or web GUI as well?
2. I have read threads relating to another solution, to use a BADI to alternate configuration views. Are there any other alternative solutions that are purely configuration based?
Vinay,
Could you provide details on which solution you eventually went with to solve your problem?
Thanks,
jo

Any idea about how solve this??
Best regards

Have you maintained the Contact person for this USer in the Org Plan. (PPOMA_BBP) ?
Please check the consitency of this BP as well.
Have you read the documenattion of the Transaction -> BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE ?
If no, here it is..

Short text
Object Synchronization and Repair
Purpose
This report enables you to run a consistency check for the integration of HR Master Data and Business Partner data. If not all data exists for the business partner, you can first synchronize data. When synchronization is run for organizational units, the basic data (name, description) and the address data is included; when synchronization is run for central persons, bank information is included in addition to the basic data and address data.
Prerequisites
To be able to run this report, integration between Organizational Management and SAP Business Partner must be active.
Features
This section contains information about the functions you can use to select and output data.
Selection
The following options enable you to restrict the selection of objects:
Central Person
In addition to selecting central persons created during integration between HR Master Data and Business Partner data, you can also select central persons who have been created locally. However, central persons created locally are not checked for consistency.
Employee (object type P)
This selection option is only available in HR systems. The corresponding central person is displayed together with the person. Both objects are kept consistent in the Basic Data, Address, and Bank Data columns.
Positions
Business Partners (Employee role)
Users
Organizational Unit(s)
You can specify specific organizational units for the selection.
Business Partner (Organizational Unit role)
Note:
The selection objects Position, Business Partner (Employee role), User, and Business Partner (Organizational Unit role) are only available if an implementation of BAdI HRALX_HRALXSYNC_BADI exists.
Branch as of Organizational Unit
This option enables you to select all objects in the structure for one or more organizational units. You can also restrict selection according to one of the following object types:
Central Persons Only
Employees Only
Positions Only
Business Partners Only (Employee role)
Users Only
Organizational Units Only
Business Partners Only (Organizational Unit role)
Include All Object Types
Changes Since
All organizational units and central persons for which changes have been made since the last time all objects were synchronized are read. When all objects have been synchronized successfully, a new change date is set.
Note:
If a selection has been made but the relevant input field remains blank, all objects of a particular object type are read from the database. This condition can lead to a long runtime, therefore, SAP recommends you also enter a restriction.
Output
The organizational units and central persons that have been found are displayed in a list that includes status data.
To facilitate navigation, a hierarchical tree structure is displayed on the left-hand side of the object list. The branches are sorted according to the type of action that is to be executed.
If an implementation of BAdI HRALX_HRALXSYNC_BADI exists, checks from this BAdI are executed in the External Checks branch.
If you double-click on the folder icon in the navigation tree, all objects are displayed in the list.
Note:
Meaning of status display for data in the Basic Data, Address, and Bank Data columns:
Icon Message Text Meaning
Green traffic light Business partner does not need to be synchronized with HR object data All business partner data is consistent with HR object data.
Yellow traffic light Business partner does need to be synchronized with HR object data Business partner exists. The business partner data is not consistent with the HR object data.
Red traffic light Object data is new and must first be created for the business partner The business partner does not yet exist or the the business partner data is incomplete.
No traffic light Object type does not include this type of data Check type is not relevant for this object.
Activities
To integrate business partners or to repair selected objects, you must select the relevant lines in the object list and choose Execute. Any errors that occur are displayed after synchronization.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points, incase it suits your requirements.
Regards

HT201320 How to separate my business from personal emails?

I want to separate my business from personal emails. I want to set up another email address. In Linkedin I couldn't use the one I have to set up a company page because it's already associated with my personal Linkedin accoung. Can I create a second email address with my business name? Linkedin wouldn't excepted the .mac.com address. Thanks for your help!

Any new iCloud account will be assigned an @icloud.com address at this point. If LinkedIn will accept this, you can create a second iCloud account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud. However, mail synced with a "secondary" iCloud account like this will only be fetch, as push is only supported in the primary account.
Otherwise, you'll have to set it up using another email provider like Gmail.

Business and personal contacts

I use my iphone5 for business and personal. I want to have 2 completely separate lists for business and personal contacts. I know I can use groups but I want 2 completely separate lists, 2 different buttons on the screen.

Then look for an app in the app store, as iOS does not provide what you're looking for.
