The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Local contacts are the contacts that a user creates on their DX device. Local contacts can also include contacts imported from a mobile phone via Bluetooth.
In Enhanced Mode, local contacts can also include contacts synced from Jabber, an Exchange account, a Google account, or third party applications.
Local contacts with a phone number are available on the Contacts tab in the Call application. All local contacts are available in the People application.
The Corporate Directory allows a user to look up contact information for coworkers. To support this feature, you must configure a corporate directory.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory to store information about users of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and to sync to Active Directory (AD).
Cisco DX Series devices use Cisco User Data Services (UDS) to query Cisco Unified Communications Manager for corporate directory information.
Cisco DX Series devices do not support traditional XML directories, including custom directories.
For more information about setting up LDAP, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Set this parameter to show directory photos when a user searches the corporate directory using UDS, and for directory search results that the user adds as a local contact.
Cisco DX Series users can search their locally stored contacts, Recents and corporate directory (UDS). Users operating DX Series devices in Enhanced Mode can also search Jabber contacts and online directories such as Exchange.
Users can search their corporate directory on the Directory tab. Corporate directory searches show a maximum of 25 results.
Search results will show a photo (if available), first and last name, and a URI or phone number. If the search result includes both a URI and a phone number, the URI is shown.
By default, the user can search for local contacts on the Calls tab, but not directories. Follow this procedure to show corporate directory results while searching on the Calls tab. Directory results will show up below local contacts in the search results, and will be sorted by directory type.
Application Dial Rules are used to convert mobile contact sharing numbers to network dialable numbers. Application Dial Rules apply to numbers in Global Search, Contacts, Favorites, Quick Contact Badges, and all click-to-dial features. Application Dial Rules do not apply when the user is dialing the number, or if the number is moved to the Edit field before the user initiates the number.
Application Dial Rules are set in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For more information, see the "Dial Rules Overview" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
