2. Select Actions > New Contact or right-click on the white space in the View pane and select
New Contact.
An untitled-contact window appears.
3. Enter the data for the new contact entry in the appropriate text boxes.
Tip:
Your contact must have a SIP address to be a Friend or to initiate an IM or sharing
conversation.
If not in your domain, your contact must have a first and last name to appear in your
synchronized Microsoft Outlook Contacts.
4. If you want to place this entry in a group, use the Group list to select the group for the entry.
5. If you want to receive presence information about this user, select the This contact is a
friend check-box.
Tip:
If the presence service is not assigned to you, then you cannot access the This contact
is a friend check-box.
Tip:
Only contacts in the default contacts folder can be designated as Friends.
6. If you want to accept files or use the sharing capabilities with your contact without receiving
the Accept option, select the Trusted user check-box. This check-box is visible only if Client
Collaboration service is enabled for this contact.
7. Click Save and Close to save your changes.

Adding new contacts by importing from the global address book

The global address book is a directory of all users in your domain. This list is created and
maintained by your service provider or system administrator.
Global address book restriction
You can search for other users within your domain using the global address book. You can search
for other users by name, SIP address, or phone number. With the Avaya Aura
Client you can import contacts from the global address book into Microsoft Outlook.
In some markets, the ability to search for another user's information violates privacy regulations. In
addition, some users may not want their phone numbers published.
Your system administrator can configure the system to disable the global address book functionality
for all users in a specified domain. This change resolves any problems with privacy regulations.
