User Addresses

Your administrator assigns a user ID to each Con-nect user in your environment and defines each user's address. Thus, you can look up, for example, the phone number of another Con-nect user.

This function does not consider nicknames (see Your Personal Address Book for information regarding nicknames).

This document covers the following topics:


Displaying a Specific User Address

If you know the last name of the user, issue the following command sequence from any point in Con-nect (you can also enter the last name followed by the first name - separated by a comma):

DISPLAY Name last-name

If you know the user ID of the user, issue the following command sequence from any point in Con-nect:

DISPLAY User userID

If there are more users with the same name or if the specified name is not found, the "Display Users by Name" screen appears starting with the specified characters. If the specified user ID has not been found, the "Display Users by Userid" screen (which is similar to the "Display Users by Name" screen) appears starting with the specified characters. See Displaying a List of User Addresses for further information.

If the specified name or user ID is found, the screens mentioned below are displayed.

If a mail status message has been set for the user, the mail status message is displayed first.

Displaying a List of User Addresses

When you issue either of the command sequences ("DISPLAY Name" or "DISPLAY User") without the last name or user ID, all users or user IDs are displayed alphabetically.

Last Name

If you remember only the beginning of a name, you can enter the first characters of the name followed by an asterisk (for example, "DISPLAY Name esh*") to access the "Display Users by Name" screen listing all users whose names start with the specified characters.

Most fields are self-explanatory. Special fields of the work and home address are described below. Last name, first name, initial and sex can only be modified on the screen showing the work address.

Sex

"Sex" is the default name for this field. You can specify any value. For example, "F" or "Female".

Your administrator may have renamed this field (for example, to "Salutation").

Phone/Mobile/Fax

Three fields are provided for each number:

  • Enter the country code (3 digits) in the first field. Leading zeros are automatically deleted.

  • Enter the phone number (15 digits) in the second field.

  • Enter the extension (5 digits) in the third field.

Phone 2 and mobile can only be specified for the work address.

Set Cc

This can only be defined on the screen showing the work address. You can specify who is to receive a copy of each mail item that is sent to you (Cc and Cc 2). This can be a nickname, user ID, cabinet name or bulletin board. You can also enter an asterisk (*) to select the addressee from a list.

To activate this feature, mark the "Set" field.

This feature does not apply to invitations to meetings.

A Cc can also be defined with a mail status message. However, the Cc defined with the mail status message works independently from Cc and Cc 2 defined in the user address. Thus, 3 different Cc definitions may be in use.

E-mail

This can be defined on both screens, work address and home address. You can specify your e-mail address. This is only for informational purposes.

Internet

This can only be defined on the screen showing the work address. "Internet" is the default name for this field. You can specify, for example, the home page of your company. This is only for informational purposes.

Your administrator may have renamed this field (for example, to "Comments").

To modify the Miscellaneous information, mark the "Miscellaneous" field.

  • a list in last-name sequence, giving the full name, phone number, extension, department and user ID.

  • a list sorted according to user-defined criteria, giving the user ID, phone number, extension, department and full name.
