My Contacts

The My Contacts list shows a list specific to the logged-in user. These might be contacts you added to Umbria or contacts synched from your Exchange or LinkedIn account. See User Settings for more information about synching contacts from external sources.

On the left side of the screen, you will see a list of Contact Groups. Select a group, and all the included contacts populate the list in the middle of the screen. You can then select an individual contact, and that contact's information populates on the right.

Working with Contacts

To add a new contact:
