Your Contacts list is your personal space for storing information about the people and systems you communicate with most frequently. You can add entries to your Contacts list by copying them from the Directory or from your Recent Calls. When you add entries that support sharing presence, they receive an invitation to be on your Contacts list. You can also create entries for people and systems outside the network by entering the information manually.
Contacts with whom you share presence are displayed at the top of your Contacts list, starting with contacts who are available for calls.
From your Contacts list, you can place calls and chat with just a click. Sharing presence lets you each quickly see whether the other is available and what type of call is possible.
To invite a person in the Directory to your Contacts list:
Click and start typing the name you want to find.
As you type, the system shows you all entries that contain the characters you entered. For example, if you type and, your search may find entries such as Andrew Jones, Christine Anderson, or Andover Conference Room.
Change the display name, if you like, and click OK.
