FAQ

What information can I see in contact search results?

  1. Contact search results can show basic information such as the contact's name and department.
  2. The exact fields you can see depend on your organization's directory visibility settings.
  3. 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?

  1. Check whether the contact name or department keyword is correct.
  2. Try a shorter keyword and then narrow the results with filters.
  3. If the contact still does not appear, that person may be outside your current directory visibility scope. Contact your organization administrator if needed.
