2. The name (or a set of names) appears in the space below the search box. If the

a. You can right-click the name and choose Add to Contact Lists.
b. From your list of contact Groups, select one group appropriate for the new
contact. You may also create a new Group from this menu.
Adding a
Contact from
a Recent
Conversation
You can also add a contact from your recent conversations. When you and another person
have a phone call or an IM session, the other party in the discussion is not added to a
contact list. The Lync Conversation tool records your contacts, and you may add those
contacts to your Contact List.
To add a contact from a recent conversation:
1. Click the Lync Conversation button.
2. From this list of conversations, right-click on the contact you wish to add to your
Contact List.
3. Click on Add to Contact Lists.
4. Select the appropriate Group unto which you will add this contact.
Adding a
Federated
Contact
If you want to send instant messages to or use Lync with people who are in a federated
organization (including AOL, MSN, or several federated colleges; see “What Is the .edu
Federation Registry” section, above), you must first add them to your Outlook Contact
List. To add a federated identity, you will add the contact from the Lync Menu button as
described above. That contact should have at least a name and an e-mail address.
Once you correctly create a contact in Outlook, it will show up in the list of search results
in the Lync window. You can then initiate an instant message to the contact.
Adding an
Out-of-
network
Contact
If you want to add a personal contact that is associated with a phone number (such as a
home phone number or someone who is not at IU), you must be using UniCom Enterprise
Voice and have an IU Exchange account. To have Lync use the phone number from your
Contact List, you need to have a contact in your personal Outlook Contact List by that
name or e-mail. To work properly, that contact should have at least a name and a phone
number. You may name it anything you want, for example, “Home.”
Once created correctly in Outlook, the contact will show up in the list of search results
from the Outlook Search window. You may press and drag it over a heading or right-click
