Assigning contact to groups

I can easily assign my contacts to one or more groups (using drag and drop) on the desktop application. How can I assign a new contact to one or more groups on my iphone 3g?
Thanks, Martin

I don't know how this makes sense; a contact can be in many groups. Generally an appointment is only in one calendar.
You can always assign contacts to groups by dragging them to the group in Contacts.

Assigning Contacts to Groups?

I have created Groups and I am trying to assign contacts to the individual groups with no luck. When I long press on a contact, the menu that comes up does not show "Add to Group". If I long press on the contact "#BAL", the menu does show "Add to Group:".
Please Help ---- Thank You

Probably good guesses. I can't test them because I don't have any contacts on Google and don't even have a real Facebook account.
When I am on the Groups tab, all groups displaying show counts (all 0 for Google groups). If I tap a Phone group, I see the phone contacts in that group. I can also add or delete phone contacts for that group. That would probably be the fastest way to set up group membership from scratch. I can't tell whether I could add Google contacts to a Phone group. It would be a neat feature, but probably not implemented.
By the way, does anyone have a way to do a FULL backup of phone contacts? The backup assistant is incomplete. Among other things, it does not back up group membership -- at least group membership is not shown online, though I can create groups online. They just don't contain the membership that is shown on the phone.

There seems to be no way to do this in either iOS or OSX. Android figured this out and I see no reason why Apple can't give us the capability to group medical contacts for example into an easily accessible group without having to resort to using Dr. as the first part of the last name in order to have them in a convenient group.
There are many posts that ask for this and Apple seems to have no desire to give us something useful in the entire spectrum of software while fiddling around with watches etc.

In the Contacts app in OS X click the "+" at the bottom and choose New Group. Once groups are created just drag the entries into the group list on the left in the Contacts app. You may have to go to the Contacts View menu and click Show Groups.
You cannot create groups in iOS, or assign contacts to groups using the built-in Contacts app. However, there are several 3rd party apps that allow you to move contacts among groups. I use Speed Names, but there are several others that people have told me are easier to use.

Contacts not assigned to a group

I've been working on getting my contacts and calendars synced up and going fairly well. Have a completely mixed environment: Outlook 2007, iPad IOS 7.1.2; Android phone and Macbook (10.6.8 but not in the current sync process).
What I've found after a lot of troubleshooting is that I have duplicate contacts and am trying to figure our how to find and remove them. Now before you just say search for them and remove one of the duplicates, the issue is more complex. First, I am very much a geek so know what I'm doing - that doesn't mean that I don't miss simple things now and again though but please don't assume I've not check to see if it's plugged in and turned on
I, like most I'd guess, prefer to keep my contacts grouped together. When I first setup the sync, everything was on the iPad as I had manually (wifi/USB) kept the iPad and Macbook synced. Simply setting up the iCloud sync from the iPad was simple enough and never really noticed any issues - doesn't mean it didn't start there though; just didn't see it.
In Outlook, there is a plugin for iCloud and I have that loaded with no problems. Contacts all came in and the groups all appear to work. If I create a new group in Outlook, I see it on the iPad and phone. If I delete it from the iPad, it's gone everywhere.
Now to where the duplicates are. When I look at the counts in Outlook - just because it's the easiest place to do it, the total contacts added up from all the groups is 626. The total contacts when I get the properties of the top level is 833
If I select the top level, I can see the duplicates, if I select the individual groups, there are none. I verified this on the iPad by manually selecting each group rather than the "All Contacts". Doing this, the duplicates are gone. So clearly, at least to me, what has happened is that there are 208 contacts (834-626) that are in iCloud but not assigned to a group. The problem is, I can't see them without selecting "All Contact" and at that point, I won't know which one I'd be deleting and would rather not delete the one that is currently and correctly assigned to the group.
Hope that gives someone enough details to give me some ideas. I've already though about manually exporting all of the groups one at a time and deleting them until all I have left is "All Contacts"/top level in Outlook and then deleting whatever is left and re-importing all of the groups but would rather not do that unless I have to. I'm guessing the biggest reason this is so hard is that the vCard standard did not fully support groups until v4.0 and Outlook is v2 or v3?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure there is an easy way to do this. In addition to the approach you mentioned of exporting the group contacts as vCards (which would probably involve importing them to Gmail so you could export an iCloud-compatible vCard), then deleting the remaining contacts and reimporting the vCards, another option would be to identify the duplicates in the All Contacts list and edit the name of one of each of the duplicate (by, for example, adding a "1" to the last name). That would allow you to go through your groups and identify which one belongs to the group and which doesn't. It would still be a tedious exercise though.

How to identify contacts not assigned to ANY group

Sometimes when I add new contacts on my iPhone/iPad, I forget to assign them to a group. Does anyone know how I can identify these contacts easily so I can assign them to groups later on? I use the Mac's Address Book when I do bulk editing and cleanup of my contacts.

Someone had the same question not long ago. I answered it there:

Task Assignment to Ggroup - Group Members Not Getting Email

I have a process with an approval activity with initial user selection set to a group rather than a specific user. I want all selected users to receive an email notification that a new task awaits them. When I assign to a specific user, the custom email template is sent to the user. When I assign to a group, the group members don't get the task assignment email.
How do I change that so that group members will receive email notification of task assignment?
Thanks in advance!
Eric

One possible solution:
You can use our Group Lookup component to get a comma-separated list of the emails of the members of the group. Then, in the step before the User>assignTask step, send the group an email. The only problem is that you won't be able to embed a link directly to the task, because the task doesn't exist yet.

In some instances it happens so that a tax procedure is assigned to company (Check in OY01) that does not use jurisdiction code but you have maintained settings in OBCL you have maintained settings for tax jurisdiction code for the co code. This mismatch may result in this error. Please check and revert back.

IOS 7: Find contacts without group

Is there a possibility to show all contacts that are not assigned to a group on my iPhone or using iCloud Webfrontend? I know you can do it on a Mac but unfortunately I am on the windows side. Thanks.

No.

What do I do about contacts and groups not synced from iPhone to iCloud?

I've been syncing my contacts with my Mac (Snow Leopard, not Lion) via iTunes for years now. It's worked well enough, but I don't sync with my Mac that often (typically weeks between syncs), so I've worried a little bit about losing data entered on my iPhone before it gets on my Mac.
Before: Mac <-iTunes contacts sync-> iPhone
A week or so ago I backed up contacts, calendars and my whole iPhone (and my Mac) then upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5. It took a while (hours) but seemed to work.
Then I set up iCloud contact syncing.
What I intended: Mac <-iTunes contacts sync-> iPhone <-iCloud contacts sync-> iCloud
After setting up iCloud contact sync, the trouble began.
I looked at my iPhone contacts and saw that instead of the half dozen groups they were organized into before, they were all in one iCloud group. I found I could make new groups and assign contacts to them on iCloud and they'd sync, but I'm not interested in redoing work organizing hundreds of contacts that iOS and iCloud lost for me.
Shortly I discovered that some contacts were just missing. Poof. Gone after the iCloud sync.
I've hesitated before syncing with my Mac again. I don't want to have the messed up groups and the deleted contacts propogate back to my Mac.
I've also hesitated because I don't see a way to disable iTunes contact syncing before actually plugging in my iPhone — the options for managing what gets synced only seem to appear when the iPhone is connected, and sync starts automatically.
Suggestions for how to proceed?
Thanks!

I found out how to disable automatic syncing:
In the device’s Summary pane, you can set iTunes to automatically sync your device when it’s attached to your computer. To temporarily override this setting, hold down Command and Option (Mac) or Shift and Control (PC) until you see your iPhone appear in the sidebar.
I'm still looking for suggestions about how to proceed to get contacts with groups synced.
Thanks again!

How do I view contacts by group in E63?

How do I view contacts by group in E63? I tried scrolling right in the contacts list and all that came up were the connection options (voice call, send text message, etc.)? I really need this function as I need to group contacts by country for ease of search. Thank you.

Contact groups
Select each contact you want to add to the contact
group, select Options > Mark/Unmark > Mark to
mark it, select Options > Group > Add to group>
Create new group > Group name, and enter a name
for the group.
If you want to make conference calls to the group,
define also the following:
• Conf. service number — Enter the conference call
service number.
• Conf. service ID — Enter the conference call ID
number.
• Conf. service PIN — Enter the conference call PIN
code number.
To make a conference call to the group, select the
group, scroll right, and select Call conf. service from

How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".

How can I send a message to multiple contacts using "groups".
It was easy on my sony ericssonn....do i need to download an app?

There is no group send option like you are looking for.
To send to a group you have to pick each person you want to send to and send as a group that way. Then don't delete that SMS thread and you can reuse it again later.
As for an app, well SMS works via your carrier and the OS, not something an App can do unless the app send the data to them (a third party) and then they relay it to the carrier. Do you really want to be sending your SMS to some 3rd party first?

Policy Assignment to AD Groups

Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way, but can someone explain if this should work or not?
I have ZESM 4.1 IR 1 installed on a Windows 2003 server with a seperate SQL box - all installed and configured fine.
Created a user source pointing at AD, and have a single OU set up with 2 groups that I want to assign the policies to. When I open up a policy and click on the publish tab, I can expand down the AD tree to the OU and can see the relevant groups I've created.
If I then add a user to one of the groups then attempt to publish a policy to the group, the ZESM Management Console says "Policy Assignment Complete", however, if I then right click on the agent on the taskbar and "Check for Update", its saying there is "No Policy Update at this time"
If I assign the policy directly to the user, then it works correctly.
Am I missing something?
The reason I want to restrict it to a single OU and specific named groups is because we've had issues in the past with multiple admins in the system overwriting users policy assignments so I want to try and control policy assignments as much as possible.

Hum, I think you're out of luck.
At least with 3.5 it doesn't refreshes group memberships once they're added to the DB. So, group memberships are only "read" at directory configuration time. You can try this by deleting and re-creating the directory config once you update the group memberships and see if they publish to the correct users.
However, I haven't tried this with the current 4.1. Good news are, this issue is addressed in ZCM/ZESM 11, since we'll be using the LDAP configuration that comes with ZCM.
HTH,
Daniel

Forgot to mention, the plan is, if any users are added/removed from the
groups then the policy would be re-published to the group - I'm assuming
this will work also?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

Delivery Assignment to Device group in standalone deployment?

Hi,
I am using the standalone deployment of SAP AII 2.1. I have the following two queries regarding assignment of deliveries to device groups.
1. I am able to assign the same delivery to multiple device groups with same business roles as well as different business roles at the same time.
For example, I am assigning the delivery to a device group that handles tag commissioning and I also assign the same delivery to a device group that handles the loading at the same time. Is this the correct behavior?
Or is it that once a delivery is assigned to a device group, it should be first processed by that device group or unassigned before the same delivery can be assigned to a different device group?
If this is the case, then is there any configuration setting in AII that can control the delivery assignment to device groups?
2. Logically I believe that only one delivery can be assigned to a device group.
I assign a delivery to a device group. Then I immediately assign another delivery to the same device group. I believe that the first delivery gets unassigned from the device group, but there is no message to this effect
Again is there any configuration setting for handling this situation?
Regards,
Dhananjay

What you are deploying is a Client Settings policy, not the client itself. This is akin to a Group Policy Object being linked to an OU. The machines in the collection which already have the ConfigMgr client will process those policies, but additional non-client
machines added to the collection will not automatically install the client.
As Torsten indicated, you can deploy the client to these machines using the manual client push method. Simply right click on the clients themselves (or the collection) and select Install Client. If doing it at the collection level, I recommend
against selecting "Always install the client software" in the wizard as it will force an unnecessary repair of the existing ConfigMgr clients. I would recommend testing this on one machine in the collection in question before attempting to do them in bulk.
Note that this requires that a Client Push Installation account be configured (Administration > Site Configuration > Sites > Client Installation Settings > Client Push Installation > Accounts tab) which has admin rights on the clients.
You *DO NOT need to enabled site-wide client push installation* to be able to use the Install Client method in the console. Enabling this will force the client to attempt installation on ALL systems that ConfigMgr sees.
