# Contacts
|
||||
|
||||
**Contacts** is the tool that manages contacts and address books. Its interface consists of two sections: the **Groups** and the **Contact list**. On the left is the detailed view that shows information about the contacts.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
We will start with the **Contact list** to get familiar with its options and then we will see how different contacts can be grouped together to create groups and what they are for.
|
||||
|
||||
## Contact list
|
||||
The **Contact list** is where the names or email addresses of contacts belonging to a directory or group are displayed. The first time you access it, if you have not used your **Disroot** account before, it is highly likely that you will find it empty.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
As the list is populated, you will see the total number of contacts in a directory o group at the bottom of it.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a Contact
|
||||
To create a contact just click on the **Create** button on the detailed view pane. The contact form will open.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Fill in the form with the data you think is convenient to identify a contact. You can even add or remove the information fields you need.
|
||||
|
||||

|

|
||||
|
||||
## Address book
|
||||
The address book is a collection or group of contacts. The first time you open your address book, it is probably empty.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Contact groups are useful to organize your contacts. You can select them when composing an email message, for example, and will enter all members as a recipient.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Groups are also listed in the auto-complete when you type in the recipient field. A contact can be assigned to multiple groups.
|
||||
|
||||
![Contact Group](en/send_add_group_auto.gif)
|
||||
|
||||
Click a directory or a group in the list to show the contained contacts in the list on the right. The currently selected directory or group is highlighted in the list.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Creating a group
|
||||
To create a contact group, first select the directory where you are going to create it and then click on the three dots menu to the left of the **Group** section title.
|
||||
|
||||
![Contact Group](en/group_create.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Select **+ Add group** and a window will open for you to enter the group name.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Click on **Save** to save your group.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You can abort the group creation by pressing the **Esc** key while entering the group name.
|
||||
|
||||
### Assigning Contacts to group
|
||||
You can assign contacts to groups by dragging & dropping them. Just select one or multiple contacts in the list and drop them onto the desired group.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
To remove a contact from a group, just select the contact you want to remove, right click on it, go to **··· More** in the context menu and finally select **Remove from group**.

|

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
As you may have noticed, there are other options in the **Groups** menu that are enabled according to whether you select a directory or a group.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Rename group**: Only enabled when you select a contact group. It will let you enter a new name for that group.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Delete group**: Deletes a selected group. Keep in mind that the contacts assigned to that group **will NOT** be deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Save search**: If you have done a search in the address book before, this option will allow you to save that search as a filter to use later.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Delete search**: It is only enabled if you have done and save a search first. Select the search and click this option to delete it.
