Contacts List Filter Fields

The search/filter fields of the Contacts tool allow you to change which contacts are displayed in the list based on one or more characteristics. When you change the value of any search field, you must click on Refresh to update the displayed list. Clicking on a letter in the Letter Bar immediately updates the list to show contacts beginning with that letter which meet the criteria in the search fields.

Note: If contacts beginning with A were displayed before clicking Refresh, then only the contacts beginning with A that met the search criteria will be displayed. Use the Letter Bar to display all or other contacts that met the criteria.

An additional option exists to only display contacts with addresses that begin with a certain zip code. Set the Sort By field to Zip, Company, then enter in part or all of a zip code in the Letter Bar field next to go. Then, click on go and only the contacts with that zip code are displayed
