Product Overview
Polycom, Inc. 12
The Address Book has two sections.
● The Hierarchy section displays a hierarchy of groups, which provides an easy way to manage a
collection of participants and their associated endpoints. For example, if you frequently conduct
conferences with the marketing department, create a group called “Marketing Team” that contains the
endpoints of all members of the marketing team. Double-clicking a group on the navigation pane
displays the group participants and sub-groups in the List pane.
● The All Participants section displays the single unique entity of all the participants in a single level.
When adding a participant to a group, the system adds a link to the participant’s unique entity that is
stored in the All Participants list. The same participant may be added to many groups at different
levels, and all these participant links are associated with the same definition of the participant in the
All Participants list. If the participant properties are changed in one group, they will be changed in
all groups.
The Participants List in the Address Book displays the following information for each participant:
