5 The Drawers & Settings Menu
As with similar features on cell phones, eyeBeam allows users to store a list of contacts in a
virtual phone book. The softphone also includes a settings dialog, which provides access to a
variety of relevant settings.
5.1 The Contact Drawer
To bring up the eyeBeam Contract Drawer, click the black button toward the extreme right edge
of the softphone application.
To add a new contact, access the Calls & Contacts menu, then choose Add A New Contact.
Enter the name, phone number or SIP URL.
Contacts can be grouped together. To create a new group, access the Calls & Contacts menu,
then choose Add a New Group. This will create a new item in the contact list, which the user can
rename at any time thereafter. To rename an existing group, right-click the group and choose
Rename Group.
To move a contact to a group, simply drag the contact to that group.
To dial a contact’s phone directly from the Contact Drawer, right-click the contact’s name and
choose Place a Call. If there is more than one number for this contact, eyeBeam will show a list
of numbers from which to choose.
To close the Contact Drawer, click the same button at the right edge of the application. Users can
detach the Contact Drawer from the softphone by clicking Detach, and can click Reattach to
reattach a detached Contact Drawer to the softphone.
