The Infinity app offers a range of features to efficiently manage all your contacts and communicate with your colleagues. It makes it easy to stay connected and quickly view colleagues' availability and status. To access contacts, tap Contacts () in the menu bar at the bottom of the app.
There are different types of contacts, divided into four tabs where you find Favorites, Colleagues, Shared contacts in your PBX and Private contacts (imported from your phone).
At the top of the toolbar, you’ll find:
Search function: Quickly search among all colleagues and contacts using the magnifying glass icon.
Sorting: Sort colleagues by department, which also syncs across your devices.
Create new contact: Add new private, shared, or department-specific contacts directly in the app.
Colleagues and Favorites
Under the the tab Users (), you will find all colleagues with detailed information about their status and contact options. In the Favorites tab (), you will see all your favorited colleagues. Whether a colleague is marked as a favorite or not, the same functions remain available.
Status Indication
A user has two types of status indications: one showing if they are busy on the phone and another displaying their currently active profile.
Call status is indicated by a pulsating ring around the user's profile picture. Red means they are busy on a call and yellow indicates an incoming call.
Profile status is displayed under the colleague's name, green icon means the colleague is available. Other profile statuses are shown with the respective status icon along with their estimated return time.
Available Functions for Each Colleague
By tapping on a colleague’s name, you will access four quick-action buttons:
Send an SMS directly if the user has a registered mobile number.
Mark as a favorite using the star icon.
