# Using the Directory

The Directory allows you to search for people and systems in your organization. You can call the people you find from the Directory, or you can add them to your Contacts list. When someone accepts, you can see presence information about one another.

To find a person or system in the Directory:

1. Click to open the Directory.

2. Type a name in the Search Text field. For example, if you type and, your search may find Contacts such as Andrew Jones, Christine Anderson, or Andover Conference Room.

Tip: For faster searches in large Directories, click and choose the Group that contains the person you're looking for, if you know it.
