The Lotus Sametime directory is a master list of all people associated with your company. Your system administrator maintains your company's Lotus Sametime directory.

You can search your company's Lotus Sametime directory to locate the names of users and public groups. Your company's Lotus Sametime directory does not contain private groups. Searching the Lotus Sametime directory allows you to locate people or groups even when you do not know the exact spelling of their names.

You can access the Lotus Sametime directory when you:

• Add names to your instant messaging contact list
• Invite other people to a meeting
• Add names to a meeting invitation

1. Click the Browse Directory button .

2. Click a directory from the drop-down list. When the contents of the selected directory appear, you can browse the directory contents or search for a specific name:

• Browse the directory: Use the up and down buttons to page through the directory list.
• Search the directory: Enter a group name or a person's last name in the Search field and click Search.
Tip To see the members of a particular group, select the group and click Contents.

4. Click OK or Add.

Tip If you added a public group to your instant messaging contact list but do not see the group in the list, all group members are currently offline. Public groups appear in your instant messaging contact list only when at least one group member is online. Private groups and their members appear in your instant messaging contact list even when the members are offline, unless you change this by displaying only online people.
