The contact card in Contacts refers to a digital representation or profile of an individual or contact. It typically includes information such as the person’s name, job title, company, contact details (phone number, email address), and profile picture. The purpose of the contact card is to provide a quick and convenient way to access and communicate with someone.
When you open a contact card in Lync 2013 for Android, you can see all the available information about that person. This can be particularly useful when you need to quickly find someone’s contact details or verify their job title or company. The contact card acts as a central hub where you can access various communication options for that person.
One of the main features of the contact card is the ability to send an instant message. If the person is online and available on Lync, you can simply tap the chat icon on the contact card and start a conversation with them. This is a great way to quickly communicate and exchange information without having to make a phone call or send an email.
In addition to instant messaging, the contact card also allows you to initiate audio or video calls. If the person has their Lync status set to available and has the necessary equipment (such as a microphone and webcam), you can tap the audio or video call icon on the contact card to start a voice or video conversation with them. This can be particularly useful for more in-depth discussions or if you prefer a more personal form of communication.
Furthermore, the contact card provides the option to send an email message directly from someone’s profile. If you have their email address saved in your contacts, you can tap the email icon on the contact card to open your default email application with a new message addressed to that person. This makes it quick and easy to send an email without having to manually enter the recipient’s email address.
