CONTACTS

Viewing Contacts
Many of the Contacts views are populated based on the information you provide.

For example, you must create contact and group entries for them to display in their respective views. Likewise, the By Category, Birthdays & Anniversaries, and By Company views are populated only if you provide that information in the contact record.

Click any of the following views in the Contacts navigation pane:

My Contacts - A list of all contacts, displayed alphabetically.
Groups - A list of all groups.
By Category - A list of categories with the contacts included in each group. This view is populated only if you assign a category to a contact.
Birthdays and Anniversaries - A list of birthdays and anniversaries, sorted by date. This view is populated only if you provide a birthday or anniversary date for a contact.
ByCompany - If you included a company on the contact record, you can view contacts grouped by company name.
Trash - When you delete a contact record, it is moved to Trash where it is stored until you empty the trash or for a period of time you determine in your Contacts preferences.

In addition, you can perform any of the tasks in the table to view your contacts in the way you choose.
