Address Book
The tenant Address Book holds organisation-wide email contacts available to all users when sending pictures. Personal contacts are managed separately from the account menu (My Contacts).
What you can do
- Add contacts with name and email address
- Edit or delete shared contacts
- Search the list when maintaining large address books
How users see contacts
When a user opens Send → New mail, they can:
- Type in To / CC and pick from consolidated suggestions
- Click Open address book for a searchable multi-select picker (filter All / Global / Personal)
Suggestions and the picker merge the same address from Global and Personal into one row with a Both badge (instead of two conflicting labels). Sources:
- Tenant Address Book contacts (managed here) — shown as Global
- My Contacts (personal, per user) — shown as Personal
- Recent recipients from earlier sends
Common workflow
- Click Add contact and enter display name + email
- Save — the contact appears for all users in the Send dialog address pickers
- Remove obsolete addresses when distribution lists change
Tips
- Use the Address Book for standard recipients (customers, surveyors, internal distribution lists)
- Keep personal one-off addresses in My Contacts instead
- Remove addresses when recipients leave the organisation
