Filtering a Local Directory
The IP Softphone 2050 lets you filter a Local Directory, making it smaller
and easier to manage. This feature is useful for dealing with large
directories. By filtering a directory, you can reduce the number of names
through which you must search.
To filter a directory:
1. Click Filter on the toolbar, or Directory > Filter from the menu.
The Filter dialog box appears.
2. From the Field and Condition lists, choose your filter criteria.
3. Enter the values you want included in the filtered list. For example, if
under the filter criteria Field: Last Name, Condition: Starts With,
you enter Value: C, only contacts with a last name starting with C
appear in the Local Directory.
4. To apply the filter, click Add .
