8.6 Starting the search function in input field
In SwyxIt!, you can enter the name of a subscriber you want to call directly in the input field. This input starts a search function which tries to assign a number. The search function looks:
*in the Outlook and/or Lotus/IBM/HCL Notes contacts
*in the Personal Phonebook
*in the Global Phonebook.
The results are offered in a selection list. You can then conveniently dial from there.
For certain characters the search function is not started, so that a number or a SIP-URI can be entered manually. If the entered character string begins with a number or the character *#(, the string is interpreted as a number. If the string contains a @ or begins with “sip:" it is interpreted as a SIP URI. In all other cases the string is interpreted as a name, and the search function is started.
To start the search function
1 Bring SwyxIt! to foreground if necessary, so that the window is active. You will see an insertion mark in the input field.
2 Use the keyboard to enter the name, or part of the name. The results are offered in a selection list. This also shows the status of the respective user. Entries containing status information will be listed before entries without status.
3 Double-click on an entry. The subscriber is then immediately dialed.
First, select the required entry first with a click or with the up and down keys. Then start dialing, e.g. with the handset button on the user interface or by pressing Enter.
You can use the delete icon to clear the field and thus cancel the search function.
