Adding a group to my contact list

Populate your contact list by adding groups to it.

About this task

There are two types of groups: personal groups and public groups.

You create your own personal groups and select the contacts that you want to add to them. Any personal groups that you create display only on your contact list.

You search for, and then add, public groups to your contact list. Public groups are created by your system administrator. Each public group has a previously defined list of members. You cannot change who is a member of a public group.
