User Guide for Cisco Jabber on Windows

When using Cisco Jabber on your Windows device, you may need to block certain contacts or domains to maintain your online security and privacy. In this user guide, we will walk you through the process of blocking contacts in Cisco Jabber.

Blocking Contacts in Cisco Jabber

-----------------------------

If you add a contact to your block list and that contact has you in their contact list, they will no longer be able to view your availability status or send you instant messages. When you block a contact, they will not have access to any information about you, including your presence status.

You can block specific contacts or domains using Cisco Jabber's block feature. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open Cisco Jabber on your Windows device and sign in with your credentials.

2. Click on the 'Contacts' tab and select 'Block List'.

3. Click on the 'Add Contact' button and enter the contact's name or IM address.

4. Select the reason for blocking the contact from the dropdown list.

5. Click 'OK' to save the changes.

Contact List Definitions

----------------------

Cisco Jabber allows you to import a contact list definitions file in XML format. This file contains information about each user in your contact list, including their name and IM address.

The following is an example of what a contact list definitions file might look like:

```

1.0

Jane Doe

jdoe@company.com

```

In this example, the contact list definitions file contains a single user named Jane Doe with an IM address of jdoe@company.com.

Limitations

---------

It's important to note that there are some limitations when it comes to contact lists in Cisco Jabber. For example, you cannot exceed 100 contacts in your contact list definitions file, and your server may also set a limit on the number of contacts you can add. Additionally, there is no limit to the number of groups you can include in a contact list definitions file.
