Do we need primary contacts in Sametime or less friends?


Tags :


One of the oddities I saw in the new Standard 8.0.2 Notes client and coming in the 8.5 version also, is the integrated Sametime Primary Contacts feature.  I don't see a reason for this feature.  With the type ahead ability I show on the top arrow you can find anyone, anywhere in your buddylists.  Dragging them to arrow 2 is a non-replicable action which will confuse many users and only begs to make bigger buddylists.  If you need a core group, make a private group that can be stored in vpuserinfo.nsf and will go across clients that you utilize.  Not some random sorting plug-in that showed in Sametime 7.5.1 CF1.
