Work With the Contacts List

The Contacts List page allows searches and a list of contacts displayed by Group or search results. To narrow the contact list, use the search text box on the action bar, or enter criteria at the search panel. (See "Search Contacts" .)

The groups dropdown list appears at the top left corner of the page, just below the action bar. The groups list includes all system groups as well as custom groups you have added. Groups also include Member and Office Rosters, and temporary groups generated by the system for search results.

Note:

The MLS determines the maximum number of search results to display in member and office searches.
