Contacts List

The contacts view enables the user to search for a number or name and to make a call to numbers in the result list.

Note

As default, only Switchboard and Receptionist users have rights to modify entries in the Contacts view by using the Add, Change and Delete buttons.
In Admin.ServerSettings you can enable “Client modification Allowed” to allow all users to add, change and delete entries in the Contacts view.

Press F7 or click Contacts in the toolbar and the Contacts dialog appears
