Contacts from Outlook

I am trying to come up with a way form my clients to select their doctor.  I would like to offer  several ways for the client to identify their doctor.  You would be amazed people often don't remember the name.  I would like to offer both a picture of the potential doctor and a photo of their building to help with the process.  So since we can put a picture for contacts in outlook I decided to get it a shot.  

 

I start with the contacts template, and select my outlook account.  I get a nice display of the two doctor names from outlook, and if I select one I get a detail display for that doctor.  But the field names and labels I get there don't correspond to the fields in the outlook entry for said doctor.  I have a "Business address" and other fields I want "coming over but the contact details screen in powers has fields like "location" , "business phone" - all of which are empty.

 

Am I expected to "map" fields from outlook to contactdetails?  I am coming from MS access, and I am leaving Access because the ability of my clients to interact with their data, and for the ability to ue remote virtual assistants on case development and work, but honestly trying to accomplish what I am trying to do her in powersapp would have been a 30 minute job!

    Hi @standenman 

    The values in the contact form come from the Office 365 profile settings. If you were to click the head icon on the top left and click 'my office 365 profile' > edit profile, this would be the source of the data. The location and business phone values are those that appear in the 'contact information' section.
