How to search and store a contact from Exchange (Android Only)

When you're using Exchange contacts, you'll be able to search for any contact from the Global Address List (GAL), your company’s list of all employees. However, the full GAL will not show up in the list of contacts for performance reasons. Therefore, you may want to store the contacts you contact often.

This feature is only available in the Android version of MultiLine applications.

  1. To search for a contact, tap the Search icon and enter the name or number of the contact you want to look up.
  2. Your result will be displayed in two categories Stored Contacts and Directory Contacts. To store the directory contact, tap the result.
  3. Tap the Add Contact button. Now this contact is a Stored Contact and will appear in the Contacts tab.
