Skype for Business User Tip #48: Quick Jump to Contact or Group

image

Here is a method to quickly jump to a Contact or Group in a Skype for Business Contact list that I didn’t know existed.

First, lets be clear that this is not Skype for Business Search. This features allows you to quickly jump from one Skype for Business Group or Contact to another when a Skype for Business contact list item (Contact or Group) is selected. This is how is works:

  • Click on [1] Contacts | [2] Groups
  • Select a [3] Group or Contact
  • [4] Now Just type first letter of a Contact or Group to jump to it
    • Just type the first letter of the first name to cycle through matching Contacts & Groups
    • Another way (a bit more hit or miss) is to just start typing the first several characters of the Group or Contact you want to jump to
  • When a contact is selected you can press Enter Enter to send an IM to the contact

Notes

  • Only Contacts in Open Contact Groups will be jumped to
  • Works in Groups, Status, etc

As always, welcome your feedback.
