Hello,

So I am an intern at PROMAN and my job is to help them implement office 365 because they are still using IBM Lotus Note and I think it could be massive step forwards using Outlook, Teams, Yammer, ...

The only thing that is holding them back is the database advantage of IBM Note. So they have a database with 10000 of CV's from people all across the world and they can search according to what language is on the CV, previous experience, age, even on in an attachment ... Only problem is that I cannot find what type of data is stored in IBM Note... So I cannot export it as a CSV file and import these into outlook.

So I have been searching in Office contacts to create a custom form so you can enter data from the CV instead of regular contact info so they could have to same in Outlook. I have succeeded in this but when you go to the search option and search for example 'English level 5' it doesn't show any results. But I did add the data to the contact that is stored in outlook.

Is there a special way you have to edit the contact form so it stores the data as a text or something else so I can search on those specific data entries?

Is there someone who has done the same thing or has experience with custom contact forms in outlook?

Thank you very much
