Using Groups to Organize Contacts
Your private groups allow you to organize your contacts
however you like so that you can find the people and systems you call more quickly
and easily. You can create as many groups as you need. Since your private
groups are visible only to you, you can give them any names that are helpful
to you. You can add someone to as many groups as you like. You can also rearrange the order of your groups so that your most frequently-used groups are at the top of the Contacts list.
