Viewing Shared Contacts

Shared contacts will appear in every user’s contacts and can be seen throughout the Portal and other applications (not including UC Softphone). These contacts behave just like regular contacts but are not editable by scopes lower than Office Manager.

  • You can view shared contacts by visiting the contacts page or opening the contacts dock. Shared contacts will also appear in other apps like the Attendant Console.
