How do I work with and view my contacts on an Android device?

You can view and work with your HCL Notes contacts on your Android device with the HCL Domino Workspace Mail People application.

Open the HCL Domino Workspace Mail People application by pressing its icon People on the Home screen.

Note: HCL Notes contacts can only be edited from the HCL Domino Workspace Mail People application.

The People list can be sorted by first or last name by selecting your choice from the action bar overflow menu. It can also be filtered by entering text into the Search field. After typing a number of characters, the application will search for matching contacts in your corporate directory, and append the results to the filtered contacts list. Corporate contacts can be added as HCL Domino Workspace Mail contacts by selecting the contact and choosing the Save to People floating action button.

Note: Some Android phones offer the ability to add contacts from a received phone number. If your phone offers this ability, then you will have the option to create an HCL Domino Workspace Mail contact from that number in addition to your device specific contacts.

In addition to showing HCL Domino Workspace Mail People, the application can show contacts from your Android device by enabling that option in Settings.

Note: HCL Domino Workspace Mail searches for contact thumbnail photos from various sources. The sources in order are: Mail People, Device Contacts, and HCL Sametime Mobile (when Sametime is logged in).
