Dialogs

## External Directory Book

You can search and edit all entries of the external directory book using several search criteria and filters. The external directory book comprises all directory entries that are assigned to a common abbreviated number.

To access the dialog, open the “Directory” menu in the Configuration directory tree. Then open the “Directory book” submenu and click on “External”.

### Search for a directory name

When using the directory name search option, the search result comprises all directory book entries, starting with the entered name or letters (not case sensitive).

If you do not enter a name, the search result dialog will show all directory book entries.

### Search for a directory range

When using the range search option, the search result comprises all directory book entries that are assigned to a common abbreviated number within the specified range.

If you do not enter a start number (“from”), the directory search will start with the lowest directory number available. Accordingly, if you do not enter the end number (“to”), the search result dialog will show all directory book entries.

### “Starting with” search option

When using this search option, the search result comprises all directory book entries that are assigned to a common abbreviated number starting with the entered number. If you do not enter a start number, the search result dialog will show all directory book entries.

### Sort order

You can sort the search results by directory name or by directory number. As default, the directory entries are listed by name.

### Filters

You can use a filter to search for a specific number series. If you do not select a filter, the search result dialog will show all entries depending on the search criteria. If you select a filter, only the directory book entries that belong to the specified number series are displayed in the result list.

If there are no filters available, no number series have been assigned in the system. This will always lead to an empty search result list.

Note

The search result always starts with directory entries with a name, followed by free directory book entries without an assigned name.

### Search results

The search result dialog displays the data according to your search criteria and filters. In this dialog, you can also change or edit a directory book entry and hide or display specific entries.

If the search result comprises too many entries, the result view will consist of several pages. Use the navigation bar on top of the page to go to a page.
