Personal DirectoryThe Personal Directory feature permits each subscriber to create a private list of customized names. These aliases correspond to other subscribers. As with the system directory, the personal directory can be queried by name, or used for addressing messages, transferring calls, and creating mailing lists.

For greater convenience, users who use the personal directory often should have their default addressing mode set (by the system administrator) to name-addressing instead of extension- addressing.

It also provides an abbreviated dialing capability: a user might use the shorter alias pac for the name Lisa Packard, for example. This can be used creatively for coding aliases according to various work assignments or responsibilities.
