Envibe: How to search for a Contact

Question

How do I search for a Contact.


Answer

Within the Contacts module, searching for existing contacts can be done via the following methods:

Filter using pre-configured Contact Lists. The All category is checked by default. If a list category is ticked, only contacts that meet the criteria for that list will be visible.
Use the Search bar to find the relevant contact/member



There is the ability to search contacts by phone numbers and email addresses.
To search via phone number, the user must prefix the search with a '+' symbol.
Searching via email addresses occurs when the search text contains the '@' symbol.
Note: The phone number field has been changed so that only phone numbers that are all digits except perhaps a leading '+' are considered valid (no white space or parentheses are allowed).

For example to search for the following person within Contacts or the Courses Diary screen:

      Jane Patencho
      Mobile:  0423 155 146
      Email: jpatencho@outook.com

Search by:
Name: Jane Patencho
Phone:  +0423155146
