FAQ
What information can I see in contact search results?
- Contact search results can show basic information such as the contact's name and department.
- The exact fields you can see depend on your organization's directory visibility settings.
- If some details are missing, the visible scope may be limited by organization-side directory settings or permissions.
Why can't I find a specific contact?
- Check whether the contact name or department keyword is correct.
- Try a shorter keyword and then narrow the results with filters.
- If the contact still does not appear, that person may be outside your current directory visibility scope. Contact your organization administrator if needed.
Does Contact Search support partial matching?
- Yes. You can search contacts with partial name matching.
- You can also search by department keyword.
- If the result list is long, add more keywords or use filters to improve accuracy.
