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:
![*](bullet_red.svg)
in the Outlook and/or IBM Notes contacts
![*](bullet_red.svg)
in the Personal Phonebook
![*](bullet_red.svg)
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 skin or by pressing Enter.
You can use the delete icon
