To add a new contact to the Contact list:

1. Click the Contacts icon. The Contact tab appears on the right pane of the Directory/Contact pane.

2. On the Contact tab, click New Contact. The New Contact form appears on the Contact tab. The fields that appear in the New Contact form are configured by your company.

3. Enter the title, first name, and last name of the new contact in the appropriate fields.

4. Enter one or more e-mail addresses in the left column of the E-mail Addresses table. Each time you enter a new e-mail address, a blank e-mail address row is added to the bottom of the E-mail Addresses table.

The first e-mail address that you add is automatically marked as the default address. This will be the address used for all e-mail interactions with the contact unless otherwise specified.

The default e-mail address is marked with a check mark.

5. (Optional) Enter a descriptive comment for one or more of the e-mail addresses in the right column of the E-mail Addresses table, beside the appropriate e-mail address. For example, you could specify one e-mail address as Work and the other as Home.

6. Enter one or more phone numbers in the left column of the Phone Numbers table. Each time you enter a new phone number, a blank phone number row is added to the bottom of the Phone Numbers table.

The first phone number that you add is automatically marked as the default phone number. This will be the phone number used for all voice interactions with the contact, unless otherwise specified.

The default phone number is marked with a check mark.

7. (Optional) Enter a descriptive comment for one or more of the phone numbers in the right column of the Phone Numbers table beside the appropriate phone number. For example, you could specify one phone number as Work and the other as Home.
