Warning

Contacts lists

Starting with the present version, there are three lists:

...

  • ALL: it lists all the contacts which are in the mobile address book, ordering them in the very same way.
  • KNOWN: it shows only known

...

  • contacts (registered or not)

...

  •  according to
    Brand
    brandserver
     's knowledge. This means it

...

  • is a list of the contacts that are recognised by the server and thus can have a status.

  • Favorites: it reads the contacts marked by you as "

Info

It's possible to use each list for both Secure Calls and Secure Messages.

Main differences amongst the lists

The contacts lists are not at all similar. One big difference is they are not always editable, the other one is how what they show their entries.

The BASE list The ALL list has one number per each contact. If the contact has multiple numbers, then he appears just once in the list. When  When selecting it for secure call or in order to put the contact to the FAVORITES list the Favorites list then you are prompted to choose the phone number to be used.

The other lists (KNOWN and FAVOURITES and Favorites) can show only one number per entry.

"Known" Contact List

Note
End-user can not edit this list.

This list is very useful in everyday use, because it shows contacts which are recognised by 

Brand
brandserver
 as user already accounted. This means that "Known" contact list offer you one list populated by contacts that share the same 
Brand
brandserver
 with you. In a quite populated device contact list, this filter can really make the difference.

This contact list, combined with "Contact Status" indicator (please check latests paragraph in current page), gives you the exact feeling about who you is actually available for contact before you call him.

Info

Known list contains single virtual phone number.

From this list you can add a known number to the Favorites lists as well.

"Favorites" Contact List

Brand
brandclient
offers you "Favourite contacts" list as a speed dial feature. This is because "Favorites" contacts list can contain only single phone numbers, so if one contact of yours had multiple numbers, then you would have to choose the specific phone number that you want to add to favourites, so that the same contact can appear in this list twice but with two different numbers.to Favorites. This let you to choose which specific number to call securely.

Note
titleSuggestion
If you intend to frequently make secure calls to the same number, then add it to the Favorites list!

There is one thing to be taken in consideration when dealing with "Favorites" contact list, though: unlikely "All" and "Known" one, this list stores copies of the numbers and it's not directly linked with device original contact list. So any change to mobile contact's details won't be reported in the one shown in favourite list!

Warning

The "Favourite" entries are copies of the original contact stored in the Address Book. Thus any change made to the original contact will NOT be reflected on the one in the favourite list!

...

Even if you change mobile contact's details, they won't be reported in this list.

An easy workaround is to remove and add again your contact from Favorites as soon as you updated it.
