German term or phrase: AD-Verzeichnis
Again, spreadsheet listing admin tasks related to sales team.

"Personalwesen Aussendienst (Eintritte, Austritte, Stammdatenänderungen, *AD-Verzeichnis* etc.)"

This is just a one-line entry, and I wondered if anyone knew this as a common acronym or term in Germany or Switzerland (client is in CH). I could check with the client but they're not back in till tomorrow and I wanted to finish this otherwise straightforward translation asap.

Explanation:
AD could stand for Außendienst, which would be field sales employees.
Perhaps. Like really PERHAPS. (that's why I've put a low confidence level).

Points to Alison for getting there first - this was a bit of a stupid question of mine, as "Aussendienst" was mentioned in the previous and following sentences! I'd probably drunk too much wine :-)
