++Teamwire classifies your contacts into three types:

++* **Contacts**
++Single user accounts (usually employees and colleagues) your administrator has allowed to communicate with. If Teamwire has been granted access to your address book, you may also find some of these contacts in Teamwire - even though they do not belong to your company directly. For more information, see [[My Contacts>>doc:Public.Applications.Android.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-mycontacts"]].
--== Group chat ==
++* **Groups**
++Predefined groups of people (similar to a mailing list) your administrator has allowed to communicate with, or you have created yourself. For more information, see [[Groups>>doc:Public.Applications.Android.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-groups"]].
--Select one or more [[participants>>doc:||anchor="02-selectparticipants"]], set a [[chat title>>doc:||anchor="02-definechattitle"]] and define [[further settings>>doc:||anchor="02-definefurthersettings"]]. You will enter the new chat automatically and will be able to compose your first message.
++* **Directory**
++You can manually search the Directory (former //Enterprise Directory//) for individual internal and external users that have not yet been synchronised. For more information, see [[Directory>>doc:Public.Applications.Android.User-Manual.Contacts.WebHome||anchor="03-directory"]].
--More information about chat content and actions are available [[here>>doc:||anchor="02-chatcontentsandactions"]].
++The participants (so-called //members//) of your chat can be both individual contacts as well as groups. Please notice the **maximum of members** that can be added to a chat. The number of currently selected users will be shown during the creation (X / 1250 users).
++Your list of contacts is arranged in alphabetical order (by the last name) but it still might feel challenging finding your colleagues within an excessive number of users. **To find colleagues and groups more quickly, make use of the search bar** located atop the list of contacts. It will show all user accounts matching your input.
