Add contacts...
The add contacts window supports two mechanisms for enhancing an existing contact list, the user can add either of:
- Contacts, or
- Public Groups
Once the user has decided to lookup a contact, they are presented with a tab view to select one of the above options. The user addition process is very simple:
- Type the name or a portion of the name.
- Resolve any conflicts that may exist by selecting the desired user.
- Choose a group name from one of the personal groups or type a new group name in the combo box.
- Finally hit the "Add Contact" button to add the user to your contact list
When working on the groups tab things are even easier. When attempting to add a contact, the user can type only a portion of the name and they will be given a list of matching items to choose from. The Sametime system does not support conflict resolution in public group lookups, therefore you have to know the full name of the group before you can add it. When you type in the name the group and its contents are added to your buddy list automatically.
