Grouping contacts can make them easier to find. Polycom HDX systems
support global groups and local groups. Global directory entries are assigned
to a global group by your system administrator. You cannot edit or delete
global directory groups.
The default local directory group is the Favorites group. The Favorites group
can have one level of subgroups inside of it. Any group that you create on the
Favorites screen or Directory screen is automatically added as a local
subgroup under Favorites.
You can put the same contact in more than one group, and you can delete it
from one group at a time. To move a contact from one group to another, you
must delete it from the first group and add it to the second group.
Polycom HDX systems support up to 200 local groups that you create within
Favorites. If the system is connected to a global directory server, it can also
support one of the following:
• Up to 64 additional groups from the Microsoft Office Communications
Server directory, which appear in the Favorites group.
• Up to 200 additional distribution groups from a Polycom CMA system,
which appear in the Global Directory group.
Points to note about groups:
• You cannot rename a group. To change the name of a group, delete and
recreate it.
• When you place a call to a group, the system uses the call speed specified on
the Preferred Speeds screen as the preferred call speed for placing calls.
• The Sample Sites group includes Loopback entries and various Polycom
regional sites that you can use to place test calls.
To create a group in Favorites:
Press Directory on the remote control and open the Favorites group,
1
or go to the Favorites screen.
Select Options > New Group.
2
Enter a name for the group.
