Creating a contact group

You can create contact groups in Business Communicator to make it easier to call colleagues you communicate with frequently. For example, you can make a group called work team, if you regularly conference call or email these associates. After you create a group, you can add contacts to the group.

 

By default, Business Communicator lists your groups in alphabetical order on the Contacts screen in the main window. Your groups are listed below your favorites.
