Managing Contacts

Contacts and contact lists let you easily organize and access contact information in your Jabber hub for those colleagues you communicate with often.

ADDING A NEW CONTACT

To add a new contact to your Jabber hub:

• 1. From the Contacts menu, select New Contact or use the shortcut of command D.

2. In the New Contacts window, type the name of the USUHS personnel you want to add as a contact.

3. Search results will appear. (It is best to type the name as completely as possible since Jabber will only display the first 15 matches.)

See Creating a New Contact Group (below) for information on creating personal contact groups.

5. Click Add. The new contact appears in your Jabber hub under the appropriate contact group.
