Chapter 8: Managing Address Entries ShoreTel Communicator for Windows
ShoreTel 12.3 99
Directory Contents: The table below the column headings displays address
information for the contacts that are accessible to ShoreTel Communicator.
Directory contents may be provided from three sources:
ShoreWare system users. You cannot remove or edit these entries.
Personal contacts added by the user.
Outlook Contacts when Outlook Contact Import is enabled.
In addition to performing column heading sorts, you can group address entries by
Company or Data Source. When address entries are grouped, the field by which the
contents are grouped is listed as a data entry field instead of a column heading.
To group Directory Contents, right click in the Directory Contents table and
select Group By -> Company or Group By -> Data Source.
To turn off grouping, right click in the Directory Contents table and select
Group By -> Don’t Group.
8.2.2 Managing the Directory
The Directory viewer includes a tool for exporting all directory entries to a .csv file. You can
also add directory entries to your Contacts viewer from the Directory viewer.
8.2.2.1 Exporting the Directory to a .csv File

commas to delimit data fields. CSV files are supported by most software applications and
are convertible to conform to specific requirements.
To export Directory viewer contacts into a .csv file, right-click the Directory Contents and
select Open as Text.
ShoreTel Communicator responds by converting the directory contents into a .csv file. Your
computer then opens the .csv file through the program specified by your folder options –
typically notepad or MS Excel.
