1.2	143	= Lists =
1.1	144
1.2	145	Lists are used to quickly and easily create a new chat with a predefined group of people in Teamwire, similar to a mailing list. Meaning, you can create multiple chats with the same list(s) based on different topics or projects.
1.1	146
1.2	147	Lists are contact groups that you created yourself and are available in your directory only. Their users will not be notified of being part of your list. Think of lists as a kind of "private circles".
1.1	148
1.2	149	When a chat is created, the list is parsed into its individual users which are added as independent chat participants. Unlike [[circles>>doc:\|\|anchor="03-circles"]], they will be directly listed in the list of chat members.
1.1	150
1.2	151	Your lists are synchronised to all devices you have logged in with your Teamwire account.

	197
	198	Circles are managed by your Teamwire administrator and cannot be modified by you.
	199
	200	In your directory, you will find all circles you are a member of yourself. You can use them when creating a chat or add them to an existing group conversation at a later time.
	201
	202	Circles usually have names you can easily associate to a group of people, e.g. departments or teams.

	206
	207	== Public circles ==
	208
	209	Public circles are managed by your Teamwire administrator and cannot be modified by you.
	210
	211	In your directory, you will find all public circles of your organisation without being a member yourself. You can use them when creating a chat. This allows special use cases, such as in the examples below.
	212
	213	* Example 1: Confidential information
	214	You can now contact the HR department via chat and submit a photo or scanned document of your sick note. Therefore, you create a chat with the public circle "Personnel office". Your get in contact with the "Personnel office" circle without inviting all other employees of the organisation.
	215
	216	* Example 2: SOS button
	217	In case of an emergency, you have to inform a predefined group of contacts via SOS button. Therefore, you have assigned the public circle "Emergency contacts" in your settings (see [[SOS group>>doc:Public.Applications.Android.User-Manual.Settings.WebHome\|\|anchor="05-sosgroup"]]). In case of an emergency, you will now create an alert chat with the "Emergency contacts" circle without inviting all other employees of the organisation.

1.1	221
1.2	222	= Bots =
1.1	223
1.2	224	Bots are external applications (e.g. chat bots) that you have been given access to by your Teamwire administrator. They are always labelled with the suffix //Bot// so that users know that they are not talking to a real person.
1.1	225
1.2	226	For example, the RSS Bot, the WhatsApp Bot, a Web Chat Widget Bot, even a Barcode Scanner or a Flic Button Bot are just a few examples of useful and popular bots. [[In this article>>doc:Customer.Integrations.Teamwire-SDK.WebHome]] you can find more information and further examples of bots.

1.1	232
1.2	233	The user accounts of your colleagues or new circles are synchronised to your app automatically. However, if you are missing any users or circles in your directory, you can fetch the latest data manually with the option Update Contacts via the menu in the upper right corner of the screen.
1.1	234
1.2	235	If the contacts of concern do not show up, despite a manual update, please contact your Teamwire administrator. It is possible that server settings or policies have been applied which will limit the synchronisation of your contacts.
