Create an Instant Contact List

Before you can send an instant message or start an instant meeting, you must add contacts to your instant contact list. Contacts are added to groups in your instant contacts list. There are two kinds of contact groups.

• Public Group -- Your administrator creates the contents of public groups, based on the company's directory. You can add a public group to your instant contact list. You cannot add names to a public group.
• Private Group -- You create private groups. When you add a private group to your instant contact list, the group is empty until you add individual names to it.
