Directory

The Directory page is where you can set up and configure the following directories for your organization:

  • Common Phone List
  • Personal Phone List
  • Enterprise Directory
  • Custom Contact Directories

Common Phone List

This is used to manage the group's shared phone list. This list is useful for including numbers frequently called by the group, such as a security company, company caterer, or a company day care center.

To add a single entry to the Common Phone List, follow these steps:

  1. Select ADD.
  2. Enter the Name and Phone Number.
  3. Select SAVE to save your entry.

To add several entries at once to the Common Phone List, you can import a CSV file. Follow these steps:

  1. Prepare a list of phone numbers as a comma-separated value (CSV) file.
  2. The first line of the import file must define two columns: Name and Number. If these column headers are not present, the file cannot be imported.
  3. Each line following the column headers should include the name and number of one contact.
  4. Enclose each value with a quotation mark.
  5. Once your file is set up, select Choose File.
  6. Locate the file on your computer and select IMPORT.
