GAL Phone Directory

Many of you have noticed that we’ve added phone extensions to the Global Address List. This serves as an electronic phone directory right at your fingertips. You can quickly look up a person's extension in one of three ways:

  1. Clicking on the Address Book button in any Outlook window and searching for their name. The icon looks like this: . In the main Outlook window, it's next to the tool that says "Type a contact to find".
  2. If you get an email from that person, simply double-clicking their name in the "From:" field.
  3. Hitting the "To:" button in a new email.
Take a moment to find your name in the Global Address List. If your current phone number is not displayed/is not correct, please let one of us in the IS department know so we can update the mail server where the list is located.

Hopefully this feature makes your workflow a little bit easier!
