Setting Up And Managing A Buddy List; Blocking Contacts From Viewing Your Status - Polycom VVX 500 User Manual

Setting Up and Managing a Buddy List

If you want to monitor other people, you need to make sure they're in your Buddy list. You add people
to your Buddy list from your Contact Directory; therefore, make sure the person you want to monitor
exists in your Contact Directory.
To update your Buddy list:
1 From your Contact Directory, tap the contact you want to start or stop monitoring.
2 From the contact's information screen, tap
From the Edit Contact screen, tap Watch Buddy, and enable or disable the field. The default
setting is Disabled. When enabled, the contact is added to your Buddy list so you can monitor the
contact's status. When disabled, the contact is removed from your Buddy list, and you won't be
able to monitor the contact's status.

your Buddy list, tap Buddies from Lines view.
