Smart Groups can automatically organize information in your address book. The possibilities are endless with Smart Groups. They can be used on any of the criteria stored and will auto-update whenever a change is made.

Some ideas for smart groups.

*** Upcoming Birthdays:
Interested in who might have a birthday this month? Set the birthday criterion to include entries that occur within the next month. (This will include all birthdays within a month of the current date when you click to view the group.)

*** Think of the Notes field as a loose tag field:
The notes field in Address Book extends the power of Smart Groups just a bit. After returning from London, I added the business cards of people I met and added the note 'London' to each one. I then made a Smart Group where the Note contains 'London' and now I've got an easy way to see the group of people I met at London.

*** Missing Phone Number:
To see a list of people, who you do not have a phone number for, set the phone criterion to include entries that are not set.

*** My Coworkers:
Most companies offer their employees an email address that uses the corporate domain. If you created a smart group for °∞email°± that contains °∞yourdomain.com°± then you will have a group that is always updated with all of your coworkers.

***Notice***
1. Email messages are sent through Apple Mail App.
2. Smart Group and Distribution List support exchange contacts. Group does not support exchange contacts.
