1
00:00:00,05 --> 00:00:02,09
- [Instructor] Contact list is exactly what it sounds like.

2
00:00:02,09 --> 00:00:07,09
It's a list of people who you want to send, for example,

3
00:00:07,09 --> 00:00:12,01
an email to or invite them all to the same meeting.

4
00:00:12,01 --> 00:00:14,01
In early versions of Outlook,

5
00:00:14,01 --> 00:00:17,03
a contact list was called a distribution list.

6
00:00:17,03 --> 00:00:19,04
More recently was called a contact group,

7
00:00:19,04 --> 00:00:23,03
but it is now a contact list.

8
00:00:23,03 --> 00:00:25,05
To create a new contact list,

9
00:00:25,05 --> 00:00:27,09
simply click the New Contact dropdown

10
00:00:27,09 --> 00:00:30,06
and choose New Contact List.

11
00:00:30,06 --> 00:00:35,06
I'm going to call this list Current Vendors.

12
00:00:35,06 --> 00:00:37,03
And I can begin adding people

13
00:00:37,03 --> 00:00:42,03
to the list by entering their names or email addresses.

14
00:00:42,03 --> 00:00:48,08
And so I have Karla Berry.

15
00:00:48,08 --> 00:00:56,00
Brian LeMee.

16
00:00:56,00 --> 00:00:59,08
Shawn Martinez.

17
00:00:59,08 --> 00:01:01,09
Notice I don't have to type the entire thing,

18
00:01:01,09 --> 00:01:05,06
just enough that they can be found.

19
00:01:05,06 --> 00:01:06,07
Tihomir.

20
00:01:06,07 --> 00:01:09,02
I shouldn't have to add that more than once.

21
00:01:09,02 --> 00:01:12,07
Daniel.

22
00:01:12,07 --> 00:01:15,08
I have two.

23
00:01:15,08 --> 00:01:18,00
It's this one.

24
00:01:18,00 --> 00:01:22,02
And I'm going to create this contact list

25
00:01:22,02 --> 00:01:24,03
for current vendors.

26
00:01:24,03 --> 00:01:26,02
How I use the contact list, for example,

27
00:01:26,02 --> 00:01:29,00
in email is to create a new email.

28
00:01:29,00 --> 00:01:30,02
And then on the To line,

29
00:01:30,02 --> 00:01:32,07
rather than adding them individually,

30
00:01:32,07 --> 00:01:36,08
I just add current vendors.

31
00:01:36,08 --> 00:01:38,02
And they will all be added.

32
00:01:38,02 --> 00:01:42,02
I can see they're all there if I expand this list.

33
00:01:42,02 --> 00:01:43,08
I can't unexpand it though.

34
00:01:43,08 --> 00:01:46,02
It will put all of them here,

35
00:01:46,02 --> 00:01:48,09
so that's the reason not to expand the list

36
00:01:48,09 --> 00:01:54,07
if there are 100 or 200 or 300 people and so on.

37
00:01:54,07 --> 00:02:01,09
I can also do the same thing if I'm creating a new meeting.

38
00:02:01,09 --> 00:02:06,06
When I invite attendees, I can add my current vendors.

39
00:02:06,06 --> 00:02:09,03
Works exactly the same way.

40
00:02:09,03 --> 00:02:11,04
If I need to change the contact list though,

41
00:02:11,04 --> 00:02:16,07
I edit that in the People app.

42
00:02:16,07 --> 00:02:19,07
So return to People,

43
00:02:19,07 --> 00:02:23,02
open the current vendors list and click Edit,

44
00:02:23,02 --> 00:02:25,01
and you can edit right here.

45
00:02:25,01 --> 00:02:28,03
Also, if you wish, you can send an email

46
00:02:28,03 --> 00:02:29,04
to these current vendors

47
00:02:29,04 --> 00:02:32,06
right from here with the Send Email button.

48
00:02:32,06 --> 00:02:34,04
If you need to create a meeting,

49
00:02:34,04 --> 00:02:36,00
you have to go to the calendar.
