Claims18
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a master directory including a master set of contact users, the master directory defining an organizational structure;
- and
- defining a contact directory for a user based upon, at least in part, the organizational structure defined within the master directory, the contact directory including a subset of the contact users.
A computing system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory module couple with the processor;
- a first software module executable by the processor and the memory module, wherein the first software module is configured to access a master directory including a master set of contact users, the master directory defining an organizational structure;
- and
- a second software module executable by the processor and the memory module, wherein the second software module is configured to define a contact directory for a user based upon, at least in part, the organizational structure defined within the master directory, the contact directory including a subset of the contact users.
A method comprising:
- accessing a master directory including a master set of contact users, the master directory defining an organizational structure;
