Grouping contacts
To organize your contacts into groups, you can use the contact groups that are ready in Nokia Ovi Suite, use the contact groups you may have created in your device, or create new groups in Nokia Ovi Suite. The predefined contact groups are Family, Friends, and Work. You can re-name or delete these groups.
When you click a contact group name, you can see a list of your contacts that belong to that group. The first contact on the list is shown in the content area.
Note:
The navigation area in Contacts also has a group called Recently updated. This group is a smart group, and it includes all the contacts that were modified during the latest syncing of your contacts. A smart group cannot be renamed, edited, or deleted. For more information on syncing your contacts, see About syncing contacts.
To create a group, do the following:
-
Click Create contact group in the navigation or device area. This creates a group with a default name – for example, Group 1 – in the area.
-
To re-name the group, double-click the title and type in the new name.
-
Press Enter to confirm the new group name. Note that all group names must be unique.
The new group is added to the end of the group list. The next time you open Contacts, the groups will be listed in alphabetical order.
To add a contact to a group, do the following:
-
Click All in the navigation or device area.
-
Select one or multiple contacts in the items area. To select adjacent contacts, click the first contact and then hold down the SHIFT key and click the last contact. To select nonadjacent contacts, click the first contact and then hold down the CTRL key and click additional contacts.
-
Drag the contact to the desired group. Note that you can drag contacts between the navigation and device area.
Tip:
You can have a contact belong to many groups at the same time.
To remove a contact from a group, do the following:
-
Click the contact group’s name in the navigation or device area.
-
Select one or multiple contacts in the items area. To select adjacent contacts, click the first contact and then hold down the SHIFT key and click the last contact. To select nonadjacent contacts, click the first contact and then hold down the CTRL key and click additional contacts.
-
Select Edit > Remove from this group.
-
Click Yes in the dialog that opens.
The contact is removed from the group, but not deleted from the computer or device.
Tip:
When edit mode is active, you can drag a contact from a group to the All folder, which then removes the contact from the group in question.
To delete a group, do the following:
-
Select a contact group in the navigation or device area.
-
Select Edit > Delete.
-
Click Yes in the dialog that opens.
The group is deleted permanently, but the contacts that belonged to the group remain on the computer or device.
Note:
You cannot restore contact groups.
