Knock In assistant offers you a more compact view of your address book contents. Several grid sizes are available, allowing best fit with your smartphone screen size and personal preference. In this grid view, the information attached to each contact (first name, name, phone numbers and e-mail @) are extracted from the smartphone address book.
You can modify this information as follows:
- A short tap on the contact icon displays the « edit » icon
- A short tap on the «edit» icon brings you in the « contact details » screen.
From this “contact details” screen, you can modify the various attributes. You can also add a picture as the contact icon and change the notification priority level for this contact.
In the contact details screen, you can notice a field labelled “ Identifier E-mail”. This identifier is what you see in the “from” part of an E-mail header.
In case of e-mail messages, Android notifications only contain the e-mail identifiers, not the e-mail addresses. Knock In assistant relies on the Android notifications. So, in order to get prioritized notifications of e-mail messages from your VIP contacts, you have to indicate your VIP contacts E-mail Identifiers in the contact details (E-mail Identifiers are case and special characters sensitive).
From the “grid view” screen, you can also very simply initiate a communication with one or multiple contacts (see below, “multiple select” function):
- A short tap on the contact icon displays the available communication applications
you can use to reach this contact. - A short tap on the icon of the selected application opens it and passes the contact identifier, so you can start composing the message.
Last, from the same screen, you can access the complete Knock In assistant menu through the navigation drawer (left to right swipe).
