CONTACTS

Adding group entries to your Contacts
You can add group entries to your Contacts in one of two ways--you can create a new group entry, or you can add a public group from your organization's directory or from an LDAP directory. You use A group as a mailing list, so that when you create a message or schedule meetings, you can use the group instead of entering each address individually. When you address a message using a group name, the name of each group member displays in the To: field of the message.

Use the Groups view to see the Groups you have created.

Note You cannot export a group as a vCard file. To create a vCard file from a group, print the Group document so you can see all the names, select the names in the Contacts view, and export as a vCard file from there.

To create a new group

1. From the Groups view click New Group.

2. Provide a name for the group that identifies the purpose or general makeup of the group, such as "My Staff."

3. (Optional) Provide a description for the group.

4. In the space provided, enter the of each member. Click the Members link to select from a directory. Separate each entry by pressing Enter, or by typing a comma (,) or semicolon (;) after each name.

5. (Optional) For Category, enter one or more categories, or click the link to choose from a list.

6. Click Save & Close.

Tip To create a group from contacts you already have, select the names you want in the group and click More > Copy Into New Group.

To add a group from a Domino or LDAP directory

1. From the Groups view click New Group.

2. Click the Group Name link.
