Using the Address Book
The Address Book allows you to keep an online list of your contacts and organise personal contacts into groups.
Your Address Book options vary according to your permissions. Contacts in the address book are either system generated in the case of course and internal contacts, or user created in the case of personal and external contacts. Depending on your permissions, you might not be able to create personal contacts.
