Switchboard supports three views of the data which area all indexed by the search feature:
- Directory : contains all entries in alphabetical order
- On call : a place to lookup on call numbers at the tip of your fingers.
- My list : Store your teams bleeps and mobile phones numbers without polluting your iPhone address book.
