Summary

Remove CardDAV accounts from staff devices when a staff member leaves your business. Deleting the CardDAV account removes synced contacts from the device and helps protect contact information.

This article covers:


Remove a CardDAV account

CardDAV allows contact information from Box+Dice to synchronise with a mobile device. If a staff member leaves and has a CardDAV account configured on their device, the account should be removed to ensure synced contacts are no longer accessible from that device.

To remove a CardDAV account:

  • Open Settings on the mobile device
  • Select Contacts

Check if CardDAV is in use

If you are unsure whether a staff member is using CardDAV, you can check the system logs.

  • Go to: More > System Logs
  • Enter the Agent name in Consultant 
  • Enter Value in the Text Search jem

You will find the following logs if they have an account synced, the Value Numbers are timestamps for the sync.

If a CardDAV account has been synchronised, related log entries will be displayed. The value numbers shown in the logs represent sync timestamps.

Important: Deactivating the staff or removing the 'Mobile' Category from the contacts will not wipe the contacts from the device. The Account must be deleted.
